This episode’s wonderful and brilliant guest is Dr. Norma Kenyon from the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami Florida and today’s topic is one that every parent of a child living with type 1 diabetes wants to know more about… What is being done to find a cure for type one and how close are we? This was a rather emotional one for me to record because this is the heart of it, isn’t it? This is what my daughter has clung to ever since diagnosis day when that well-meaning nurse told her that a cure is right around the corner. I am so excited for you to hear Dr. Kenyon explain what I am going to call the scientifically miraculous things that have been taking place in her lab and in the clinical trials to find a biological cure for type one diabetes.
