  A vaccine that could cure Type 1 diabetes is to be tested on people for the first time.

....

People with Type 1 diabetes tend to develop the condition before the age of 40 and have to inject themselves with the hormone insulin every day.

...

Without these injections their blood sugar would become dangerously high and they would die.

Beating any disease is a good thing- and beating one this widespread and dangerous is always a good thing!

This is a Fantastic story. I hope those 72 People Show Great Progress this spring, and the Vaccine works.
