#DiabetesAwarenessWeek In the UK alone, over 350,000 people are managing their type 1 diabetes every day. But what most people don’t know is that #T1D is a progressive disease that develops over time. As the body attacks the pancreas, the cells necessary for insulin production get more and more depleted, until blood sugar levels rise enough for symptoms to appear. This is usually when treatment starts. But what if we could slow or halt the #autoimmune attack on the pancreas? Our investigational ImmTAAI therapy is designed to do just that – targeting the autoimmune response itself before the disease has fully set in. By directing therapy specifically to the insulin-producing cells, we aim to protect them and potentially change the course of the disease. #UKDiabetesWeek #Diabetes #AutoimmuneDisease
