One of the best ideas for a cure - which in my opinion has not been investigated enough yet - would be to turn us all into mice. 🤷‍♂️ ---

That’s a cheesey idea @Eric 🧀 ---

I believe it is Dan Heller’s thread, discussing the difference between research and our reality, here: > **[What a “Cure” for Diabetes Actually Involves](https://danheller.substack.com/p/what-a-cure-for-diabetes-actually-looks-like)** > > Headlines from clinical trials are deceiving. This guide shows what to look for. He (I assume) has used the cartoon more than once: > **[A Hybrid Approach to Curing T1D: New, Novel and Not Yet](https://danheller.substack.com/p/hybrid-approach-to-curing-t1d)** > > Stanford's 'diabetes cure' worked in mice. Scaling it to humans requires stem cell-derived islets—a technology that doesn't exist. Here's why. However apparently about the same study (tell me if I’m wrong). Seems to be a thing. I can’t find a predecessor to that article with the goggle image search. The thing that annoys me about this is that I can’t find out who the author of the _image_ is, maybe it’s immediately obvious to those in the business; there’s a form to it that seems recognisable, but I’d just like to know! Perhaps it is Dan! ---

> [@jbowler](#): > > The thing that annoys me about this is that I can’t find out who the author of the _image_ is, I did an image google search of it and it came up PHD comics. The archive covers a lot of years. PHD-piled higher and deeper. That’s was what my Dad say BS=Bull S\*\*t MS= more of the same and PHD=piled higher and deeper. ---

This may be interesting from a scientific perspective, but this is nowhere near an actual therapy for T1D patients. Radiation therapy and bone-marrow transplants for all T1D patients is never going to happen. ---

Frankly I think that is disrespectful to Djinn and therefore completely unacceptable, also inaccurate, in my limited experience Djinn are never that obvious. Extremely politically correct opinions aside I do think that it is good that he (Dan, not the Djinn) asserts his own copyright. A very respectful way to do it too.
