Type 1 Diabetes develops when the immune system destroys beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. There is no cure, and the more than 1 million Americans who have the disease depend on daily insulin injections to maintain normal blood sugar.
With the recent advent of immunointerventions, however, in certain selected people at risk the clinical onset of disease can be delayed.
Dr. Schneider has worked at the forefront of both immunodiagnostics and immunotherapies for Type 1 Diabetes and can help finding a regimen that may work for you or your loved ones.
