A Diabetes Cure? Let’s Talk About It

News of an ongoing clinical trial has taken the diabetes community by storm. After receiving an islet cell transplant and a new anti-rejection drug called tegoprubart, at least six patients with type one diabetes are now producing their own insulin.
The media is calling the treatment a "functional cure". But if you've lived with diabetes for a while, you might have a healthy dose of skepticism.
In this episode, Cait and Tracy discuss what this news might mean for diabetics, why this drug is different, and how it feels to hear the word "cure" floating around.
