Can you imagine waking up one day and no longer needing insulin? No longer worrying about how many carbs are in a meal? No longer fretting over whether you'll go low during exercise? No longer overthinking every little thing because of type 1 diabetes (T1D)?

It sounds nice, but it also feels unimaginable to most people. 

But not Chris Pacheco—he's living proof that a cure is on its way. (It might already be here!) After 36 years of living with T1D, Chris no longer has to live the same way because of his participation in the Eledon Clinical Trial.

Thanks to Eversense for sponsoring the Diabetes Nerd Podcast. Eversense is home to the world's only 365-Day CGM. See if it's right for you at EversenseCGM.com.

Editor's note: In the Eledon trial, low blood sugars are not dangerous for islet cells after a few weeks. Learn more about the Eledon Clinical Trial here.
