Did you know that some people with #T1D still have surviving insulin producing #betacells - even years after diagnosis. Future treatments to regenerate these beta cells could help treat #T1D #Cpeptide is measured by a simple blood test and can detect surviving beta cells

The Alberta Diabetes Institute has some amazing researchers making important discoveries. www.ualberta.ca/en/folio/202... We want to see if they work in people - beginning with #T1D who still have some C-peptide. To hear more www.ualberta.ca/en/alberta-d...
