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

      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 think that a functional cure is the most viable scenario as far as a "cure" is concerned. It seems like the most progress is being made with islet cell therapies.

      Being rather opinionated, yes, I frequently give opinions. However, most are hard won scars experienced over 70 years of picking up the lance and charging full steam ahead. I have experienced as many hard knocks as well as an occasional success or two. The college of hard knocks is extremely difficult–it gives the test first, then the lesson afterwards.

      ‘s quThis is a great fund raiser with no out of pocket cost to the diabetics or their families giving opinions on any company. So far I have submitted 36 places that I frequent or companies that I order from, or companies where my children are employed. It’s quick and easy and so far I have raised $72 for T1D. Give it a try and when I found out that you could click on the option of the business not on the lists, I came up with lots of local places that still count. Give it a try, it’s a great fundraiser idea.

      It sounded strange but I was intrigued enough to try it. I’ve done one so far and it was easy, although more questions than I thought there would be. It still only takes a minute or so. Really clever way to raise money for an organization!

      1 minute or less is a pipe-dream in my experience. More like 5 minutes. And this is coming from someone who is very good with tech and questionnaires.

      Yes I went for the whole enchilada and gave 75 feedbacks thus contributing $150 to T1D. It is a great way to contribute to a very worthy cause!

      I don’t think I will do this …. The idea is wonderful, but my days are consumed with caregiving of multiple elderly family members, so the less time I spend on the computer the better care I can give. I really don’t want to have one more online account and login to maintain. That may sound selfish, but after 40 years in the computer field, less screen time required is my goal. What about asking us to submit diabetic product improvement ideas to raise money? I would be willing to spend time on the computer for that.
