VC-02 for Type 1 Diabetes
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment that involves implanting a special product under the skin to help people with Type 1 Diabetes who can't sense low blood sugar. The goal is to see if this can help their bodies produce insulin naturally and manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop your current medications. However, it mentions that participants should have a stable diabetic treatment, which might mean you can continue your current regimen.
How does the VC-02 treatment for Type 1 Diabetes differ from other treatments?
