  10. Thoughts on the future of Diabetes Research Nothing can be removed to eliminate the disease, like, cancer. Transplantation of foreign islet of Langerhans or the Pancreas requires rejection drugs that carry risks. Insulin administered by a sophisticated electronic device requires replenishment of insulin supply. The closest to a cure is generation of islet of Langerhans cells from stem cells that are genetically exactly equivalent to ones own somatic cells, This may still be a problem if the immune system was the one that attacked the islet cells in the pancreas to destroy them originally. If the immune system caused the diabetes, then ensuing research might focus on suppressing the immune system that attacked the islet cells
