I recently came across an article that shows we still have a long way to go, but that we are getting closer to curing type 1 diabetes! http://irunonbatteries.blogspot.com/2012/12/could-tb-vaccine-cure-type-1-diabetes.html

When I wake up, my…

I feel bad that I have been gone so long. My pregnancy was very tough. Very tough. I was in the hospital for appointments between my OBGYN and my Endocrinologist 3 days a week. At 7 months, I spent four days in the hospital because of high stress and trouble controlling my sugars. I became…

However, as soon as there is talk about the underlying processes, we reach a zone of opinions and speculations. The majority of those refer to a complex interplay of the immune system, environmental factors and genetic susceptibility. A common agreement, though, is that the nature of the death of beta-cells is exceedingly complex.
