When I was diagnosed with Type 1 back in 1989 (21 years ago) I was told there would be a cure in 5 years. I'm still waiting. ;) Recently at a support group we all realized that no matter what year we were diagnosed, every one of our doctors had told us there would be a cure in 5 years. (It's become a running joke now in the group.)
What did your doctor tell you?

She has been telling me there is promising research on T1D and there should be a cure in my lifetime. Not very encouraging I am only 25.
According to my doctor, she said it would take a LONG time. :
