Thank you @BreakthroughT1D for highlighting what we are doing in the #Type1DiabetesGrandChallenge. Our research aims to better understand both when best, and which, therapies to give those with/at risk of T1D to improve protection of those remaining insulin-making cells. 🔬
Breakthrough T1D UK@BT1DUK

We spoke with #Type1DiabetesGrandChallenge researcher Dr James Pearson about whether the time of day could boost the effectiveness of new treatments to delay or prevent type 1 diabetes - plus his motivations and hopes for the future.

Often the NOD mouse is criticised for not being a good model of human type 1 diabetes. I would disagree; however, you do need to understand the limitations of using this model and how to use it correctly. Read our new review below to learn more
Diabetologia@DiabetologiaJnl

Discover how research in NOD mice enhances our understanding of human type 1 diabetes in this review exploring genetics, beta cell stress, immune responses, autoantigens & immunotherapies. Read more @JAPearsonLab #T1D #DiabetesResearch link.springer.com/article/10.100… 🔓

A great article written by @DrLucyChambers @DiabetesUK about her lived experience and why it is important to identify those at risk of Type 1 diabetes - free general population screening studies are open for children/adolescents (@elsadiabetes) and adults (T1DRA @T1DRAdiabetes)
Lucy Chambers@DrLucyChambers

Did you know #Type1Diabetes starts silently? The symptomless phase, when insulin-making cells are being attacked & in decline but the body's still able to produce enough insulin, can last for years I've written about "early-stage #T1D" & why it matters👇 diabetes.org.uk/about-us/news-…

Last Sunday the Cardiff Diabetes Research Group took part in the @BT1DUK one walk cymru at Cosmeston Lakes. We had a great time, got to talk to people about research 🔬 and met many inspiring people! We also managed to avoid the rain ☀️ ! Plus we raised ~£400 for @BT1DUK

Thanks to the phenomenal interest in our study we are only looking for 17 more adults aged 18-70 that have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for less than 1 year. Thanks to all study participants and @BT1DUK and @DiabetesUK for promoting our study!
Breakthrough T1D UK@BT1DUK

If you're aged 18-70 with type 1 diabetes and can get to @cardiffuni to give two blood samples over one day, you could take part in @JAPearsonLab's research study! To get involved in this study, please contact the research nurses Shinto Jose (joses8@cardiff.ac.uk) and Alex Howell (howella4@cardiff.ac.uk). Eligible participants who successfully donate two blood samples will get a £300 voucher for Love2shop ✨ Find out more: bit.ly/49w2flG #Type1DiabetesGrandChallenge #GBDoc #research #T1D

If you know of anyone living with Type 1 diabetes who would be happy to provide us with a blood sample in the morning and evening (can accommodate weekends too) you could really help us understand if the time of day could make a difference to how well therapies work!
Breakthrough T1D UK@BT1DUK

Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge researchers need your help!🧑‍🔬 Researchers are looking for people aged 18-40 living with type 1 diabetes who can get to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff to give two blood samples over one day. This study looks to answer the question: Does timing matter for therapies to prevent beta cell destruction? This is so that the success of any future therapies for type 1 diabetes can be improved. To get involved in this study, please contact the research nurses Shinto Jose (joses8@cardiff.ac.uk) and Alex Howell (howella4@cardiff.ac.uk). Eligible participants who successfully donate two blood samples will get a £300 voucher for Love2shop ✨ Find out more: bit.ly/49w2flG @JAPearsonLab @cardiffuni #Type1DiabetesGrandChallenge #GBDoc

Thoroughly loved discussing all the amazing type 1 diabetes research we do @cardiffuni. Couldn’t be achievable without all those who volunteer and give up their time to raise funds for @BT1DUK research! Thank you 🔬 💉
Breakthrough T1D UK@BT1DUK

We’ve had a fantastic day @cardiffuni learning about the incredible type 1 diabetes research we’re funding here to develop and test drugs to treat T1D, which is only possible thanks to our supporters 🔬💙 #Research #Type1Diabetes #T1D
