      How concerned are you about potential barriers to islet cell transplantation, such as cost, access, eligibility, or insurance approval?
      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.

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

      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?

      How likely is it that you would participate in a clinical trial for islet cell transplantation?
      Age 73 here. I'm in the same boat. I ogten am considered too old for consideration for "smaller" research projects. But - best of luck to them. I'll be rooting on the sidelines.

      I've tried twice and was rejected both times because I control my diabetes as best I can. As others have already stated, if immunosuppressing drugs are involved, count me out. I'm not interested in something worse than what I already have.

      Not if it requires immunosuppressant drugs. Been there done that time to move on to something much better.

      I answered “Very Unlikely” not because I woud not want to participate but because, at age 75, I think it very unlikely that any researcher would want me in their patient panel.

      How likely do you think islet cell therapies are to become a viable long-term treatment for T1D?
      not for those of moderate income.

      I am hopeful- it may not be in my lifetime, but they have already made great strides in the research. The autoimmune response and need for immunosuppressants is still a pretty big sticking point.

      I don't see how a cure will be possible without islet cells as they are what produce insulin. Using immunosuppressants or not is what will determine what the first "cure" will be like. If safe immunosuppresants are used, then it is actually a "functional cure". If they can infuse islet cells without needing immunosuppressants nor other meds, then I would call it a "cure".

      I have Diabetes Sisters as my Amazon Smile beneficiary. It’s such an easy way to donate since I am already buying stuff from Amazon might as well make it count.

      Presently, I am doing surveys about businesses I use of know about and every submission is worth $2 towards T1D. Great idea for a fund raiser with no financial out of pocket expense.

      In addition to TCOYD, ADA, T1Dex, and JDRF (by far the largest donation recipient from me), I also donate to DiaTribe, Life for a Child (which supports children w T1D in developing countries by not just donating medication but also supports the infrastructure needed to care for them), many of whom would otherwise die, and Insulin for Life. No child should die from not having insulin to treat T1D, nearly 100 years after the discovery if insulin..:/

      In addition to several of the .orgs listed I support Diabetes Sisters with a monthly tithe and with Amazon Smile purchases. I choose to make small reasonable and affordable donations to causes I support. Each contribution goes a long way to amplify the power of the greater good.
