Thank you everyone who came to our posters sessions today at #ADASciSessions Final posters are available on our faustmanlab.org/publications… These trials were a decade in the making. We would not be here without all of the families impacted by type 1 diabetes who supported us.

Six more BCG treated patients significantly improved their HBA1c and new evidence, shorturl.at/xh8Ww, the spleen, triggered by BCG, is critical in glucose regulation, We are actively enrolling pediatric T1D trials. Contact lab if you are interested. #bcg4T1D #T1D

Sunday at #ADA2024 in Orlando new data from positron emission tomography (PET) and X-ray computed tomography (CT) studies of BCG vaccinated type 1 diabetics, one of the multiple BCG T1D trials at MGH BCG lowers blood sugar levels without contribution from endogenous insulin.
Sunday we are presenting new data (12:30 PM) from our positron emission tomography (PET) and X-ray computed tomography (CT) studies of BCG vaccinated type 1 diabetics. This six-patient study is part of the multiple BCG T1D trials at MGH that are approaching 500 type 1 diabetic participants across Phase I, II and crossover groups. Standardized uptake value ratios (SUVRs) were calculated to identify organs with heightened glucose uptake after BCG vaccination and to confirm earlier work that BCG vaccination gradually lowers blood sugar levels without any contribution from endogenous insulin. We also injected BALB/c mice (n=17) with BCG to test for the presence of BCG colonies in particular organs before and after vaccination.

100% of the donations go to supporting Mass General Hospital. Your donation will help fund the ongoing #BCG clinical trial program and is used for the cost of production of the #BCGvaccine, regulatory costs for the FDA, overhead costs, etc.
