From Faustman Research in the General forum:

Hi, Im new to this forum. I am the father of a 13 year old T1 diabetic. I am looking for the cure, yea I know! I am an internet junkie and keep tabs on anything that might be close to the cure. I have been following Dr Faustmans research for 2 years now and her latest press release tells us that her research toward the cure has shown some promise. Here is the website link: http://www.diabetesdaily.com/edelman/2008/09/diabetes-cure.php. Please make sure that she is funded, you might want to donate to the cause at faustmanlab.org. I understand that the JDRF is not funding her, but I guess that's another story. I know that I am new in this diabetes world (my son was diagnosed only 2 years ago, he is on the omnipod, an amazing peice of equipment)and some of you have been hearing about the cure for years. But I believe that Dr. Faustman is really on to something legit, hey if it works out, great for all of us, if it doesnt, at least we gave her the chance to try. She is also backed by Lee Iacocca, so he believes. Thanks for reading and stay well. Howard

From Diabetes Education in the General forum:

Hello, As a diabetes educator of 12 years experience I endorse what Clarissa says. For up to date information on diabetes management it is very important to seek corrent information from a clinician who has the knowledge and skills to assist.Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation and 'cures' for diabetes that will give people false hope. For our clients we always advise them to seek verification from a credentialled diabetes educator or the Diabetes Association in their state or territory on any 'new' treatments or claims of cures. This not only saves them money but prevents the disappointment. Regards
