I've been diabetic for over 30 years now. The entire time, more
now than ever, I constantly hear: "They'll probably have a cure
for diabetes in about 5 years.<br>

<div>Boy is that ever true! We know astronomically more
biology than we did in 1960, but medicine has advanced
only very very slightly in all that time. The biggest
"recent" advance in medicine, antibiotics, happened over
50 years ago, and improved sanitation and anesthesia over
a century ago. After that it's mostly been a few slight
tweaks here and there. Very disappointing. <br>
