We are excited to share with you that a story on the artificial pancreas aired on May 2nd on the national daytime talk show The Doctors. The segment featured Breakthrough T1D Children’s Congress 2011 Chair and Government Relations Committee member Stefany Shaheen and her daughter Elle. Elle, 12, has type 1 diabetes and recently participated in a Breakthrough T1D-funded artificial pancreas trial at Boston University and Massachusetts General Hospital led by researcher Dr. Ed Damiano.
