RT Journal A1 Saudek CD T1 Can diabetes be cured?: Potential biological and mechanical approaches JF JAMA JO JAMA YR 2009 FD April 15 VO 301 IS 15 SP 1588 OP 1590 DO 10.1001/jama.2009.508 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2009.508 AB For individuals with diabetes, the ultimate hope is cure. But how will this cure ever be realized? If the answer was obvious, all effort would be directed to it, and a Manhattan Project model would succeed. But not knowing where the cure will be found, a series of diverse approaches must be pursued, with the hope that at least one will prove successful. The broad paths to a cure may be considered either biological and surgical or mechanical.
