Question from Tahoe City, California, USA:

Where can I find a place here in the U.S. or anywhere in the world to take my daughter to stop her autoantibodies from destroying her pancreas? I have heard that there are places that do the GAD vaccine testing. Please help me find where I can give her this vaccine before it is too late.

Unfortunately, such testing is highly experimental and, so far, mostly helpful in animal models of diabetes. You should discuss this with your pediatric endocrine team and they can help you to understand the testing protocols in which you may consider participating.
