  • Innovative and Insightful Diabetes Discussions!

    Love hearing all the innovation and insights with Stacey and her guests! Stacey makes complex diabetes topics feel personal and easy to understand. Her episode on Qvin's Q-Pad and its groundbreaking use of menstrual blood for A1C testing and diabetes management was especially fascinating!

Q: What do you think the process is going to be here for approval for people with Type 1?
It really depends a lot on what size of trial the FDA is expecting and if companies can demonstrate that it can be used safely in people with Type 1, it has a really good chance for approval.
