  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".
