Money Minute: Bill Prioritization

Those with type 1 diabetes typically rely on artificial insulin delivered via a needle or an insulin pump to manage their condition. These invasive methods can be painful and inexact, as it’s difficult to pinpoint the correct amount of insulin to inject from moment to moment. In addition, insulin can be expensive.

But new research conducted by Oliver Trunschke, a PhD student in the UW Department of Molecular Biology, could lead to treatments for type 1 diabetes that are as easy and painless as flipping a light switch.
