More than half of people who have type 1 diabetes or have a family member or close friend with the disease expect a cure to be found in the next 10 years, according to a semi-annual survey conducted by the Juvenile Diabetes Cure Alliance.
The findings, outlined in a new report a new report (see link below) from the JDCA, show that 57 percent of people in the type 1 diabetes community think a cure will be discovered in the next decade. Another 30 percent expect a cure in the next 25 years.
However, research from the JDCA has found that the current research pipeline likely won't deliver on those expectations unless there is a shift in prioritization. The nonprofit donor advocacy organization has identified only six type 1 diabetes research projects out of the 332 currently in human clinical trials that have the potential to deliver a cure by 2025.
