Trial Closed

I went to the Abate Trial website tonight, and found out that it is now closed. I was one of the last participants to be accepted.
I snuck in under the wire, and I am glad. I hope that this experience is fun and some good comes out of it. I am looking forward to living in the big city for a couple weeks, but not so much getting a IV everyday.
I will be going to the Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle for six hours everyday for two weeks, getting a steady dose of the new trial drug. The drug is supposed to stop the attack on Beta cells, and they think I would have better insulin control. It won't cure Diabetes, but it might make it easier to manage. The drug is called Teplizumab.
I leave on Saturday. So far I have my xbox 360, movies and games packed. It'g going to be an adventure!
