2 clinical trials by @LorcaLab on probiotics and T1D
Lorca Lab@LorcaLab24 Jan 2022
Our lab focuses on a probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) called Lactobacillus johnsonii N6.2. This LAB was shown to prevent the onset of #T1D in #diabetes prone rats. We are currently running two clinical trials with L. johnsonii N6.2. Click the link in our bio to learn more!

100 years ago, 14-year-old Leonard Thompson became the first human to receive insulin. Insulin was a breakthrough in diabetes care, and it set the stage for innovation that would continue throughout the next century. #LeonardThompsonDay ow.ly/pokY50HsiP7

Insulin: A Story of Discovery and Innovation: Breakthrough T1D Reports

In 1922, 14-year old Leonard Thompson was the first person to receive insulin. It was a breakthrough in type 1 diabetes (T1D) care.

Did you know type 1 diabetes can happen at any time, even during a pandemic? Sharing information can be life-saving. You might know the warning signs – but not everyone does! Share this graphic. #T1DWarningSigns

The microbiome is an exciting area of research for diabetes management. What do we know and what questions do we still have about the microbiome? @diaTribeNews dd4.us/3hHEJaC

Knowing the warning signs of #T1D is always critical, but #COVID19 has made the identification of symptoms more important. Early detection can prevent hospitalization, exposure, & the devastating realities of #DKA. You probably know the warning signs — but does everyone you know?
