There's no known cure for reversing the effects of Diabetes Type I and unfortunately, most sufferers die at an early age but usually not before having body parts amputated, as did FMB.
Mikey12345 had Type I Diabetes and after multiple amputations, died as well.
It's a terrible, terrible disease.

Dialysis just mechanically replaces kidney function after the disease killed the kidneys.
My grandpa was in it for 9 years. He had a kidney removed with cancer and then later the other one quit. It’s pretty hard on the body.
