My thread is a place for intelligent discourse. Ask questions, present supplementary evidence. Let's learn together.
However, if the best you can do is push your own, irrelevant agenda, or offer little more than hyperbole and ad hominem, I will likely block you. Nothing personal.

I'm putting together a poster "Type 1 Diabetes and drugs: The literature and lived experience". There is research out there ( pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1938…) but I'm interested in what T1Ds have directly experienced. Let me know and all information will be treated confidentially.

The one who dented the universe and gave everything he had for the diabetes community.
To the man who had a vision and fought for it, without compromise.
To the man who made me a better man.
I will miss you, Bastian

If you're LADA and in VIC (and soon QLD), this trial could be for you. It is Phase 1b which means you are paid/reimbursed to participate and it is looking to stop/slow the immune attack. atic.svi.edu.au/news-events/…

I can't publish the whole thing but this is something the collective may find useful. It is a flow diagram for the diagnosis of which type of diabetes you have on the presentation of classic symptoms. Co-authored with actual medical folk and published in a peer-reviewed journal.
