Webinar: New Paths Towards a Cure for Type 1 Diabetes presented by Dr. Leonardo Ferreira
Researchers around the world are exploring new ways to treat — and possibly cure — Type 1 diabetes. One promising approach focuses on replacing insulin-producing beta cells and helping the immune system stop attacking them.
In this webinar, Dr. Leonardo Ferreira will share the work his research team is doing to develop new cell-based therapies that may one day help restore natural insulin production.
This discussion will focus on the big ideas and what they might mean for people living with T1D, rather than complicated scientific details.
Most importantly, this will be a conversation.
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with Dr. Ferreira about his research and what it may mean for the future of Type 1 diabetes treatment.

The Wit and Wisdom of Fran Carpentier: 57 Years with Type 1 Diabetes
“I think that my first husband felt that I made life hard for us. I couldn’t be as spontaneous as he probably wanted me to be. You know this was pre-insulin pumps and CGMs. We were young, he wanted to go out and do things and I felt I had to do things a certain way to keep my sugar really well-controlled. I think I’m the most fun person in the room, but he felt that I was a wet blanket. There was probably truth to it forty years ago. Today, technology has freed up life for us T1Ds. Of course that freedom means relying on all manner of medical apparatus and being visible about it.”
