National Post
Does anyone know this periodical? Is it a reputable newspaper or just a tabloid?

Yes, but don't forget we have cured mice of Type 1 diabetes a thousand times over. Many things that work in mice do not translate into humans.
Lucky mice!
There is a bit of an overlap in T1 and T2 here. Because they mention decreasing insulin resistance, I assume they were originally researching Type 1, and stumbled across something relating to Type 2. However, if inflammed nerve endings are also the beginning of the autoimmune process in Type 1, this also has promise for Type 1.
It could just be that resistance occurs in the setting of Type 1 early on, when the cells are under attack and inflammed. If this is true, this may actually not help Type 2's much. It is very hard to tell from this information, and the media has gotten important facts wrong before!
All of that said, I think there will eventually be many ways to cure diabetes (Type 1 anyway). With some of the research going on, I think there will be individual choices for people one day.
Apparently it will take 10 years to bring this to human trials, so it won't be anytime soon. I think anything in the media should be taken with a grain of salt. At least (good) doctors no longer tell patients a cure is "around the corner".
I think this could be great...but I would hate to crush anyone's hopes...stay cautiously optimistic.
P.S. I live in Canada...the paper is not a tabloid. Canada actually is very involved with diabetes research. The "Edmonton Protocol" started here, in Alberta.

There has been some progess in the field of diabetes. I worked as a research nurse for the doctor that has been pioneering a cure in this field. The doctor is in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. Yes he has some success in reverting type 2 diabetics to normal people. The proceedure is to take the Islets of Langerhans (special cells in the pancreas that produce insulin) and implant them into the diabetic. The hope is that these cells will attach themsleves to the new host and start producing insulin for that person. With this procedure there are risks just like any other procedure. The persons body can reject these new cells, hence they need to take anti rejection meds. The cell do not thake hold or do not work, or do not produce enough insulin, hence you remain a diabetic. The big problem right now is it takes alot of these cells ( from many, many donors) to help 1 diabetic patient. There are not enough of these cells available yet, that is why the progress has been very slow. I know of a lot of patients personally that this doctor has treated in this fashion and are now off any type of insulin or diabetic medication. He started treating type 1 diabectics 2 years ago. He has been working on this for over 4 or 5 years now and although his sucessess are great, there is not a lot of them due to short of the cells required to do the procedure.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

I couldn't pull up your link, but, there has been 1 proven cure for both types1 & 2, transplanting stem cells into the pancreas kickstarting the Islets of Langerhorn to start producing insulin again, it has been successful in the handful of patients rich enough to be accepted into the trials.
Since, stem cell research has pretty much been halted in the US which is a tragedy.
My husband is type 1 and I'm type 2, between the two of us, we spend $420.00 a month on insulin. As long as the drug companies mantain high profits and have lobbyists in DC, Americans will never see a cure for diabetes

Unfortunately, that rag is a national newspaper, and although I do not agree with the editorial in that paper, it is not a tabloid.
As for curing diabetes, since a Canadian did invent/discover Insulin, then having one cure diabetes is not too far of a stretch.
I see they are working out of Sick Kids, great hospital, does a lot for children in Canada and outside of Canada with the Herbie Fund.

This is real. I am sure that quack cures will show up on the market very soon, but I would give it maybe 5 years or so for some true human test markets to be open for this cure. Maybe sooner if a ton of funds come in.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.
