He's Been Cured After 36 Years with T1D
Q: What does it mean to be 'cured enough'?
It means being free from daily concerns about lows and highs, gain in functional freedom for activities like exercise and travel, but still maintaining caution and continuing treatment to protect transplanted cells.
He's Been Cured After 36 Years with T1D
Q: How did you end up in this trial and hear about it?
The guest explains a long search through multiple trials, meeting eligibility challenges, and eventually finding a slot that matched his kidney profile and other criteria, with some back-channel networking to connect with the trial team.
The Truth About GLP-1 Drugs and Sudden Vision Loss
Q: What would you describe your position at the ADA?
Dr. Bob explains that he served as chief scientific and medical officer, highlighting his leadership role and involvement in shaping diabetes care at a national level.
