"The discovery of the insulin hormone meant that T1D could be treated, but 100 years later, although there have been significant advancements in insulin delivery and diabetes technology, it remains the only treatment, and it cannot prevent progression of this chronic disease. In fact, T1D is one of only two common autoimmune conditions without an approved disease-modifying therapy on the market." Read the second article from JDRF Canada about their ongoing research & the evol...ution of the development of #diabetes devices. As Dr. Banting said, Insulin is not a cure for diabetes; it is a treatment. JDRF is focused on finding a way to prevent T1D, and continues to progress in this field. #diabetes #diabetesawareness #diabetesmanagement #insulin4all #Insulin100 Diabetes Canada Banting House National Historic Site of Canada #research #prevention #teachers #education Explore this piece & our collection of legacy stories @: https://definingmomentscanada.ca/insulin100/legacy-stories/
