Diabetes Vaccine Developed For Children

or the mumps?The trial will use insulin administered with a nasal spray to children and young adults who are genetically predisposed to developing Type 1 diabetes.
If successful, researchers believe it could offer thousands of children protection from the disease, and the opportunity to avoid a life of constant blood-sugar monitoring, insulin injections and a regimented diet.
As part of the four-year program, young people will self-administer the intranasal spray every day for one week, and then once a week for a year, while receiving regular health checks to determine if the onset of diabetes has been delayed or prevented.
Truly fascinating. I can't wait to see how this turns out. Would you feel comfortable letting your child participate in this study?
