I've been asked to sign up for this new study being run by King's College London - has anyone else taken a look?
The details are online at http://www.multipeptide.co.uk/ but, from what I understand, they are hoping that by injecting peptides found from the pancreatic beta cells we can "re-train" the immune system to stop it targeting beta cells for destruction. As such, it's a study that is especially useful for those of us who are newly diagnosed and in the "honeymoon" phase of still producing our own insulin.
Sounds like a great new development and research area. I'm approaching my one year Diabeteversary but still seem to be honeymooning, so the thought that this could help prolong it is very exciting!
