This is probably already common knowledge, but I haven't seen much talk about it. Despite all of the "outside the industry" work being done to find cures to chronic illnesses like Type 1 Diabetes and such, it is highly likely that any breakthroughs will receive massive covert resistance from pharmaceutical corporations since a cure to a chronic illness will eliminate the need for any other diabetes-related industries. The individuals will be silenced, their work destroyed and forgotten, and nobody will ever know. I know Big Pharma is a big buzzword right now, but the corporations manufacturing products to facilitate the medical necessities of diabetics are very much Big Pharma. You'd have to be stupid to think they'd support a cure, as it would put them out of business forever. All of that sweet, sweet insulin price-gouging money all dried up. Even the guy who created the first T1D closed-loop system sold out to all the corporations who began marketing their sterilized version of his design for more than it's probably worth. In short, if you want a cure, you'd better hope you're a global elite or sufficiently wealthy person who can either pay for the patented corporate cure or get the secret medical treatment you know they're all getting.
