A new type 1 diabetes (T1D) clinical trial is recruiting now!

Researchers are looking for adults living with T1D to test a promising treatment aimed at protecting the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas from the immune system attack that drives the condition. The trial is called T1D Obtain.

If you're aged between 18 and 35 years, have been recently diagnosed with T1D and reside in Victoria, NSW or Queensland, you may be eligible to take part.
