Could Prevention be the Cure for Type 1 Diabetes?

August 24, 2026·1h 4m
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, I sit down with leading type 1 diabetes researchers and clinicians to break down the science behind prevention, delaying disease progression, and replacing insulin-producing beta cells. We explore promising therapies like teplizumab, ATG, and verapamil, along with the challenges of immunotherapy, beta cell replacement, and making these treatments accessible to more people. This conversation also tackles why we’ve been hearing “a cure in 5 to 10 years” for so long, what researchers have learned about the root causes of type 1 diabetes, and why there’s more progress happening now than ever before.   Learn about Omnipod 5 (sponsor)*   Learn about the Eversense 365 CGM   Inside the Vertex Participant Who's Cured of Type 1 Diabetes - Patti Columbe   She's "Cured" of Type 1 Diabetes - Life 6 Months Later - Katie Beth   Join: Diabetech Newsletter (free) | Diabetech All Access   Follow Diabetech: Instagram | Tik Tok | YouTube | Facebook | Discord   DISCLAIMER: This podcast is not medical advice and is for educational purposes only.
