simply prescribing insulin to a diabetes patient is not a solution, that's about making the problem tolerable.

Giving insulin to a person who is dying because of lack of insulin is not a "solution"? Then, pray tell me, what is?

For IDDM Insulin most certainly IS the solution. What we need is better high tech implantable toys which could sense blood glucose levels - and inject insulin automatically, as needed. Would be also nice if those little units could broadcast data and signals to a monitoring center - in case something is seriously out of whack.

Maybe in time we'll have better and fancier nanothech solutions.... but we ain't there yet.
