This week on Diabetes Connections - looking into a very old vaccine to get new results for people with type 1. Dr. Denise Faustman's research into the BCG vaccine has been making headlines for a long time, and she's now sharing new results from her clinical trials, including some pretty remarkable claims about A1C, insulin use, and time in range.

Now, I know some of you may be surprised that I'm having Dr. Faustman on the show. She's a very controversial figure in the diabetes research world, and her work has sparked plenty of debate and skepticism over the years.

We're not ignoring any of that. In fact, we talk directly about the controversy, why she believes her research has faced resistance, and what it would take for BCG to become a widely accepted treatment.

This podcast is not intended as medical advice if you have those kinds of questions please contact your healthcare provider.
