We're hearing more and more about prevention of type 1 diabetes. There’s some big news on that front – just last week Diamyd Medical got fast track designation for it’s medication to stave off T1D for people who carry a particular gene – a gene that about 40-percent of people with type 1 have. Diamyd is recruiting for some big clinical trials – we’ll find out who’s eligible, where you have to go and what you to have to do, and the reasons why there’s an awful lot of hope around this.

My guest this week is Elna Narula, US Site Relations and Patient Recruitment Lead at Diamyd Medical. Her daughter was diagnosed with type 1 more than 30 years ago. Elna was already working in healthcare and she became a diabetes educator.
