Please note that this thread is not intended to discuss or debate vaccinations, but rather to report hopeful news about promising treatments that could benefit millions of lives, and is deserving of praise. :)

I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in the spring of 2018, and felt a surge of hope that summer when I read this:
BCG vaccine can reverse Type 1 diabetes to almost undetectable levels, eight-year study shows

This particular vaccine is already known to be beneficial in boosting and regulating the immune system. The research team also discovered that the vaccine speeds up the rate by which cells convert glucose into energy, and tests on mice show that it could also be beneficial against Type 2 diabetes.

Today I learned of another reason for optimism!:
Rotavirus Vaccine May Protect Against Type 1 Diabetes
