  Unanswered Questions in T1D: What Immunology and Islet Research Can Tell Us

  Oct 1, 20263 min

  Guest: Edward Phelps, PhD Despite advances in type 1 diabetes (T1D) research, key questions remain about disease progression, immune mechanisms, and the optimal timing of intervention. Here to explore how immunology and islet research could help address these knowledge gaps is Dr. Edward Phelps. He’s an Associate Professor in the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida.

  Investigating Alpha-Beta Cell Proximity and T-Cell Interactions in T1D

  Oct 1, 20263 min

  Guest: Vira Kravets, PhD Cellular interactions within pancreatic islets may provide important insights into the early stages and pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Tune in to hear Dr. Vira Kravets share research she presented at the 2026 European Association for the Study of Diabetes Annual Meeting, which focused on how alpha-beta cell proximity influences GLP-1R-mediated communication as well as the spatial association between alpha cells and T cells in human islets. Dr. Kravets is an Assistant Professor in the University of California San Diego Department of Bioengineering and holds a secondary appointment in the Division of Endocrinology within the Department of Pediatrics at the UC San Diego School of Medicine.

  Investigating Beta Cell Dysfunction and Immune Activity in Early T1D

  Oct 1, 20264 min

  Guest: Edward Phelps, PhD Residual beta cells may persist after a type 1 diabetes (T1D) diagnosis, but how well do they continue to function? Tune in to hear Dr. Edward Phelps discuss research he presented at the 2026 European Association for the Study of Diabetes Annual Meeting that examined glucose-stimulated calcium responses in living pancreatic tissue from donors with recent-onset T1D. He explains how residual beta cells showed impaired responses to glucose regardless of the local presence of T cells, suggesting that beta cell dysfunction may extend beyond islets with substantial immune cell infiltration. Dr. Phelps is an Associate Professor in the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida.

  Enhancing the Metabolic Benefits of GLP-1s with Diet and Exercise

  Oct 1, 20263 min

  Guest: Laura Chiavaroli, PhD How might diet and exercise influence metabolic outcomes among patients taking GLP-1 medicines? To find out, we recently spoke with Dr. Laura Chiavaroli, who discussed this topic at the 2026 European Association for the Study of Diabetes Annual Meeting. She shares emerging evidence on combining lifestyle interventions with GLP-1 therapy and highlights where gaps in research still remain. Dr. Chiavaroli is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto and an affiliate scientist at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute at St. Michael’s Hospital.
