Current attainments in research on cures/treatments for type1 Diabetes?


What the latest on things like stem cell transplants, artificial pancreases (or is the plural pancreai or something?!) and other new treatments. I'm type 1 but have been out of the circle for a few years, and have no idea on the latest developments. Are there any realistic timescales that scientists are giving for further developments?

In 2005 a 61 year old type 1 diabetic from uk was cured by having an islet cell transplant. Healthy islet cells are taken from pancreases from dead or living donors and injected into the patients liver, they then develop their own blood supply and begin to produce insulin.
This probably will not help now but check the info at the site below. I know many ways to minimize the effects of diabetes.
