Susie's story: volunteering to find alternative ways to treat diabetes

Susie's five children

Susie Marques

Susie's daughters diagnosed in 2015 and 2016.

Research is so crucial to help understand why and how type 1 diabetes happens and to get to the point where we can prevent it.

Susie has five children, with both her daughters living with type 1 diabetes. Susie volunteers as a patient advisor for an immunotherapy clinical trial, called USETKID. It’s testing if a drug can retrain the immune system and halt its attack in children who’ve just been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
