#375: The Diabetes Cure Debate - Are We Actually Curing T1D?

If there is ever a cure are we really CURING Type 1 Diabetes?Not in the sense of whether the technology exists yet. But in a deeper sense - if stem cells, a pancreatic transplant, or some other breakthrough meant you never had to take insulin again, have we actually cured the autoimmune condition that caused Type 1 in the first place? Or have we just found a way to work around it?Our perspectives will shock you...From there the conversation goes wide — into worldview, personal responsibility, doing your own research, and what it means to take control of your own existence when the systems around you can't always be trusted to have your best interests at heart.I hope you like it when we debate and bicker — because this one is a doozy.This is one of the most thought-provoking episodes we've ever recorded.🔑 Key TakeawaysWhether eliminating the need for insulin would truly constitute a cure for Type 1 diabetesGraham's honest belief after 32 years - and why he doesn't think he or Ken will ever be curedWhy false hope can be just as damaging as no hope at allWhy I believes hope is growing faster than at any point in the history of Type 1 diabetesHow to hold onto hope without letting it stop you from living fully right nowWhy doing your own research matters more than ever when it comes to your health decisionsWhy trusting yourself - even when decisions don't go perfectly - changes everything for how you manage diabetesYou can have enormous hope for what's coming and still choose to live fully right now.
