  Would you participate in a fully virtual research study with no in-person visits?
  Several years ago I participated in a study assesing the value of regular counseliing and guidance, through virtual appointments for CGM users. I participated because they provided Dexcom G6 devices for the first 6 months of the study and I had wanted to experience life with a CGM. Because it was all virtual I was able to participate from a variety of locations visited during a cross country road trip, VA to CA, including Rapid Cty, SLC and the Bay area in CA. The experience with CGM was such a benefit that after the 6 month period I continued in the study, but purchased Dexcom G6s myself - not covered by my insurance! I would not have considered purchasing the CGM without the positive experience.

  Depends on what it is. Generally they do not want older adults

  How concerned are you about potential barriers to islet cell transplantation, such as cost, access, eligibility, or insurance approval?
  There are many concerns, one being if I'll still be alive if it's ever offered :)

  Read up on Eladon and Tegoprubart. You might be shocked at the lack of side effects. Although I’m interested to hear how long term goes in the next few years.

  General access to islet transplants is still years away. FDA has to deem it safe. Though, I am excited about the possibility.

  At 78 I don't think islet transplantation will affect my life course. Big pharma sees biological treatments as the path to ever higher profits, not constrained by patent terms the way drugs are. Most diabetics would be better served by an improved standard of care from the ADA and the medical community.

  Very, but more worried about it even making to the FDA and approved there first.

  Severe case of hardening of the “oughteries” here. Ought we be concerned with cost, insurance, coverage, hail storms, earthquakes? ▄█▀█● Why are we not homeschooled to enjoy the progress being made?

  While those items are very much a concern, there are other factors that are more concerning ie immunosuppressant.

  If they can transplant them such that we do not need immunosuppresants, we'd be fine. Otherwise, those meds are just one more thing that could become in short supply. But at least we could go through scanners at the airports and travel without huge bags of supplies.
