What Dr. Rodriguez can say in an interview about
T
ype 1 diabetes and an insulin-replacing pill:

Researchers have made exciting progress in developing a pill that could replace insulin for people with type 1 diabetes. An estimated 8.4 million people globally are living with this condition. Now, researchers in Australia have found a protein that mimics the function of insulin.*

Type 1 diabetes is a condition where “the body does not produce enough hormone insulin or makes very little of it”.1 This issue affects many people worldwide, as stated above, and is set to more than double by 2040, a study by The Lancet finds.**

Here are a few things Dr. Rodriguez can speak on regarding

      • What type 1 diabetes is and how it affects people
      • How a pill could replace insulin
      • When a diabetes pill could become available

There have been other researchers that are doing studies and trying to develop a pill just like this, so here’s hoping we know more soon, as this could be a life-changing option for people living with type 1 diabetes.
