There are twice as many cases of type 1 diabetes as there were 20 years ago, an increase that has led to a number of technological advances in its treatment: more accurate blood glucose meters, insulin pumps, smartphone apps and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have all contributed to a longer life expectancy for people with type 1 diabetes.
Along with better management, recent advances have led researchers to be hopeful that a cure will be available in the reasonably near future. Several studies have managed to prevent type 1 diabetes at various stages.
The findings were published in the Medical Journal of Australia.
