how is a cure for diabetes comming along?

is there any news or information about a cure for diabetes. obviously theres treatment, but no cures as of yet. is there some kind of government funding for the cure in places.

also, can anybody explain why it is difficult to cure or why they havent cured it yet?

thanks!

ps: im not diabetic, but i want to learn a bit more about the condition, so i will be hanging around this forum asking and answering questions 😉
