I have been suffering from type 1 diabetes mellitus for 29 years. Is there any permanent cure for Type 1 diabetes mellitus?

This means that there is a lifelong deficiency of insulin in the body, and it can only be compensated with external sources of insulin. Currently, science has no permanent cure for Type 1 diabetes mellitus, which is why it is also known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
