[Dr. Jessica Dunne @jessdunnephd]

More good news coming from the teplizumab prevention trial. A single course of treatment delays a #T1D diagnosis by almost 36 months.

3 years of no insulin injections, no finger pricks, no site changes. If you don’t think it’s meaningful, ask anyone with T1D to explain it.

RESEARCH. A JDRF-supported clinical trial showed immunotherapy Teplizumab delayed the onset of #type1diabetes by an average of two years in people identified by @T1D_TrialNet's Pathway to Prevention study at high risk of the condition. Read more: https://t.co/BjceH74OXG #GBDoc

Is T1D a heterogeneous disease? A paper by two @JDRF-funded researchers concludes that yes it is--with two different, age of diagnosis-dependent endotypes.

Great to hear that the biscuits are going down well! At times like these it's more important than ever for us to make sure our staff are well looked after and taking regular breaks.

[Guy's and St Thomas' @GSTTnhs]

Today we opened our pop-up emergency supplies food support service at St Thomas' Hospital marquee for staff who are struggling to get to the supermarket at the moment.

All items have been kindly donated or purchased by @GSTTCharity and are available to staff for free.

@castletoncollin Some recent Lancet data on a smaller cohort https://t.co/hdC073Atu9

[Yuk-Fun Liu @yukfunliu]

@castletoncollin There is a lot of missing co-morbidity data here, over 50% of total cases and about 60% of deaths. Difficult to draw clear conclusions
