We have Katie Beth Hahn with us here
and she is living proof of what can really happen
with science innovation.
And a lot of purpose all meet together.
My name is Katie Beth Hahn.
I am patient nine in the Elladon clinical trial
to create a functional cure for type 1 diabetes.
And today is my 247th day without insulin.
It's something that, before the last few years,
was not even possible for people who
have lived with type 1 diabetes.
And I'm so excited to partner with the Silverstein Dream
Foundation to make the miracle that I'm currently
living possible for other people living with type 1.
This event will
It will allow us to continue giving access to more patients
who are in desperate need
of this treatment.
I had my islet cell transplant in January of 2026.
One week later, I came off all basal, long-acting insulin,
and then on March 3rd, I stopped needing insulin entirely,
something that very much feels like a miracle.
The process itself has a lot of very complicated science,
but what it comes down to at the end of the day
is the fact that this is real progress, it's happening,
and there are groups of people walking around now
that used to have type 1 diabetes that don't have to live with it
and aren't insulin-dependent anymore.
It's very, very exciting.
I think the work that's being done is going to make diabetes obsolete.

Center conferences on December 3rd and March 10th
and stay tuned for all our activations.
