Dr. Peter Thompson and Dr. Brandy Wicklow are conducting a research study to measure markers of the remaining insulin-producing beta cells in the first 5 years after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in children and teens at the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba and Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg.
The ‘survivor’ beta cells send out marker signals akin to an S.O.S. distress call. These markers are detectable in blood and can provide useful information about the beta cell’s functional status and stress level. A better understanding of ‘survivor’ beta cells may reveal important clues as to how type 1 diabetes progresses after diagnosis and offer insights that will help us improve glycemic control in recently diagnosed individuals.
