Any others out there？
I wonder if a cure doesn't exist for my disease, much like many others, that isn't propagated because it's not profitable.

How could it be genetic if it barely ever existed years in the past. People used to take iodine regularly if they lived inland. This is per Hubbies gramma from Oklahoma.
I take iodine every day now. It does help lower blood sugar, but it isn't a cure for Type II. I don't think it does anything for Type I.
As I stated and people don't seem to get the two types of diabetes are totally different at the basic chemistry level. Type I; no insulin is produced. Type II; large amounts of insulin is produced but because of the over load of insulin caused by our diets the cells themselves become resistant to insulin, and will not let it enter the cell to store the glucose that then accumulates in the bloodstream doing all kinds of damage.
Those with Type I can't just automatically start producing insulin. What caused that lack of insulin production seems to follow a genetic path as the condition runs in families. That cause may be due to something that targeted their specific genome, but I have not seen that addressed.
Does it run in your family
Type II runs in my family, but not Type 1. Type one runs in my wife's family, and in the family of a friend of mine. My friends family had it in some of his siblings, but it seemed to have skipped him, but both his daughters have Type I. My wife has two cousins that both have Type I, as did their mother.
I bet soon we will have answered many of these diseases.
