Disease-modifying treatment for type 1 diabetes

Delaying beta-cell loss in type 1 diabetes is a highly prized goal. With MHRA granting marketing approval for a drug that delays the onset of stage 3 (symptomatic) type 1 diabetes, we need to gear up to use disease-modifying treatments for the first time. ABCD, in collaboration with BSPED and PCDOS, are carrying out a survey to gauge readiness amongst diabetes teams across the UK for this challenge. The survey should take a maximum of five minutes to complete.
