S1E4 - The Science Behind Finding a Cure for Type 1 Diabetes ft. Jasmine Maghera

Why don’t we have a cure for diabetes? What will it take?  We know T1D research is complex, but it may be even more so than we thought! Today we get to talk to Jasmine Maghera, fellow ICD-er and type one who is hard at work as a PhD student in Alberta researching diabetes.  Jasmine walks us through the latest developments in diabetes research and enlightens us as to why that promise of a cure in 5 years has not happened yet… 30 year later…  There was also so much we did not know about diabetes science, including why it can vary so much (you'll be shocked when you find out!). Jas breaks it all down just like insulin breaks down sugar in the blood stream - we hope you enjoy! **Disclaimer: Nothing on this podcast is a substitute for personalized professional medical advice.
