Using Tzield to Delay Type 1 Diabetes

Send us Fan Mail

If you could delay the onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D), would you?

In this episode of the Diabetes Nerd podcast, I sit down with Stephanie, a mom navigating the world of T1D after her daughter’s recent diagnosis. We discuss what early detection entails, the stages of diabetes, and how Tzield, a groundbreaking therapy, can actually delay the progression of T1D.

Recent studies have shown that Tzield can delay the onset of T1D by an average of:
- 24 months (2 years): in adults and children (ages 8+)
- 32.5 months (2 years and 8.5 months): in a subset of high-risk children

Stephanie opens up about her family’s experience—from the emotional ups and downs to the practical challenges of treatment—and why family screening is so important.
