This is episode 68 of the Sugar Mama’s Podcast and today I am chatting with my very good friend, Shannan Critzer. Shannan is a 5th grade teacher, mom to a truly amazing young lady living with type 1 diabetes, and she is just a wonderful, kind and funny human being. Shannan shares with us today what it is like to have your T1D participate in a MAJOR clinical research trial testing the drug, Teplizumab. For those of you who haven’t heard of Teplizumab in the type one research space, it is an IV infused drug that has shown great promise in protecting and prolonging the insulin producing life of beta cells of newly diagnosed T1Ds as well as those who may have the auto antibody markers and are trying to delay or even prevent clinical onset of type 1 diabetes. It’s truly fascinating. I know you are going to enjoy this interview with Shannan! Enjoy!
