Hi, my daughter was diagnosed with TD1 when she just turned 12 months however was in DKA with a sugar level over 1000. Doctors said she was more than likely that she will not survive but I’m proud today to say that she is still alive and stronger for it!
It’s so great to hear about things like this and hopefully soon there will be a cure. It’s the hardest for a parent to have to prick their childs finger and have them carry this burden being helpless while their health is at risk. Hannah is now 3, turning 4 in a few months and is such a happy child. I would give anything to be able to have Hannah 100%.
Keep us all updated!!
Hello:
My father died when he was 42 years old supposedly of a ‘heart attack’. He had been blind for ten years
He was diagnosed with T1D at 12 years old in 1932. When he was 21 in
1941, he was told by then very re-knowned Dr. White of the Joslin Clinic that “a cure was just around the corner”. So much for that!!
Anyway, my granddaughter is exactly the same age as David.
She participated in Dr. Damiano’s trial study when she was, I believe, 13, about three years ago. She was the youngest at the time to take part in the trial and stayed at MGH for three days….twice.
This article is unbelievable. It is so encouraging, and gives hope for when SHE goes off to college at the same time as David.
I guess I just wanted to say kudos to Dr. Damiano for being so strong and determined and unrelenting in his mission. We all hope and pray that the bionic pancreas will truly be a thing of reality and availability in time for David (and my granddaughter) to take to college…and, of course, for all the other T1D’s. It is truly a heartbreaking disease. My son and daughter-in-law have been doing EXACTLY as the doctor described every night of their daughter’s life.
So, congratulations to you, Dr. Damiano, for your success so far and your determination. We look forward to continued success in the future and eventual access to the bionic pancreas.
