North:

I am sorry to hear about your DM1. I dont know if you are familiar with viacyte. They have two systems in research studies to treat DM.1. PEC Direct and PecEncap. Both systems use pancreatic cells encapsulated in a an envelope.

The PEC Direct requires immunosupression to allow the stem cells to survive its already in a Phase 2 or 3 study.

The PEC Encap will be amazing if they can optimize the capsule. Basically the pancreatic cells will function like your own pancreas but remain 'hidden' from your immune system (no immunosuppression needed ) . This will be an absolute amazing quantum leap forward in the treamtent of DM1. If it works no meds no monitoring and perfect BS control for two to three year at a time- then simply go in and get your capsule replaced in a brief in office procedure

I think this company is a tremendous investment but unfortunately is privately held

I wish you Health and courage in your challenges
