My roomate and I were just discussing an interesting idea. With the cure for diabetes right around the corner, could this be the begining of the end? Could this cause a real life 'I am Legend'? I need to start preparing incase this scenerio becomes a reality.

Who said the cure for diabetes is near?

What did I miss?

Type 1 or Type 2?
