50 Year Medalist Study | Joslin Diabetes Center

The Joslin 50-Year Medalist Study has involves a large group of patients who have been insulin dependent for 50 years or longer. Some of the more surprisingly, preliminary results suggest that a majority of Medalists may still be producing insulin. Studies on individuals with extreme duration of type 1 diabetes are rare, but they can be uniquely useful in identifying protective factors against the development of complications and for the preservation of endogenous insulin-producing β cells.
