Chemist Peter Robinson joins us on the show to answer the question: Can type 1 diabetes be prevented?
Peter is at the forefront of antibody testing that, when combined with the newly FDA approved drug Teplizumab, can give families and young kids more time to enjoy their childhoods by delaying the onset of T1D.
