Organization has helped change the lives of millions living with Type 1 and Type 2
In 1982, Zach Leigh was among a handful of kids who helped commemorate the launch of Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute.
His young self, he added, would be absolutely astounded at where things stand for Type 1 diabetes in 2022.Today he is enrolled in a clinical trial through Whittier that gives him early access to the latest closed-loop blood glucose monitor, which is equipped with an automatic insulin pump.
But wearing an automatic glucose meter creates a telltale bump under a person’s shirt near the midsection that others wearing the same device can easily spot. Though both medications could stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin, they sometimes overstimulated, causing weight gain and other side effects.
Though many of these medicines and technologies are made by companies based outside San Diego, Whittier has always served as a critical point of access for the nationwide clinical trials that have brought them to market. At least a dozen trials are regularly available with a staff of experts on hand to help clients determine possible risks and benefits of participation and whether or not they qualify to participate.
