Hmm, okay you bad T1's..... LMAO
If EVER cured, I would love to have a supply/med trashing party!! Bring all ur shyte and beat the hell out of it all. I know I wouldnt start hittn up the desserts, but I never have been a guy for sweets. PASTA though, look out. I would eat a huge bowl of pasta or rice!!!!!!!
Honestly?! I doubt there will be any form of cure within our life times. I want it so bad, and almost feel like I deserve it too. Thoughts on that one? Damn, pestimist haha.
Hypothetically speaking, we are talking about finding a cure for type 1.
What happens though if all of us type 1's become so excited and gorge ourselves over a series of months and end up with a type 2 diagnosis.
I rescind my idea of gorging myself on food since that is what we all seem to want to do. Instead I will go for a nice long run and not have to worry about bringing anything other than some water.

i think its realistic not to expect a cure in our lifetime. i think it draws attention away from focusing on this moment and taking care of ourselves with what technology we have now...to always scanning the media for "new discoveries" and new "possible cures" that are never talked about again.
While I am not holding my breath expecting a cure anytime soon, I know that some of the medical advances out there could be a possibility. The thing that scares me though is that if some company actually has a legitimate idea and they decide that they are not going to invest in the idea as it might be to costly and not give them a return they expect. It is sad when the business world does that to us.
However, this one time I do have to say that I hope just this once the doubters are wrong.
Almost worst than the dumb (well really ignorant) questions that people ask (which really, I would probably ask and be as ignorant if I didn't have it too) is when people say there is going to be a cure!!
I hate that. It takes so much mental energy to manage diabetes- I felt like I couldn't waste one bit on it on some wishful fantasy.
I never let my mind go there for the last 26 years.
But after 26 years and all of the cell research that they are doing,etc... I think it might be possible.
It doesn't make me angry to think about it anymore and when someone asks me about a possible cure or says that- I let my wander a bit and muse at the possibility.
I don't put my hope into it , but I think it could be a possibility.
We have to enjoy each day anyway as it comes regardless of our diabetes
i would cry and tell all my best friends and cry with them! then i would eat a big milkshake!!! i love them i juss dont like bolusing for such a humongous number of carbs!!! i also would run and play basketball for a supperrr long time and not even think about my bs!!!!!
lets see...i would most likely go stand up on a bench somewhere with a lot of people and shout that a cure was found and make everyone clap...then i would go eat peanut butter chocolate stuff until i passed out. (Is that possible? Can you pass out from eating too much?) Well thats just what i think i would do, i guess i'll have to wait til the day comes and see
You know, I just thought of this, but shouldn't the question be: What will you do first when you are cured?
Hahaha. I just thought of that and, by the way the question is phrased, it sounds as if it's asking what you'll do when the cure is found, not when you actually are cured. When I see on the news and know for sure that it's true that a cure has been found, I know I won't go out and consume numerous amounts of carbs and sugar.
Now, when I am cured, that's a different story. I'll throw a huge party and celebrate! (=
