Type 1 Diabetes: from Cubism to a cure | Robin Goland | TEDxMet

Dr. Robin Goland challenges us to see something in a whole new way. Robin is a medical doctor leading the charge to cure diabetes. Her work combines research with clinical care in a groundbreaking approach to medicine.

Robin Goland, MD leads one of the nation's most successful efforts to advance patient care, research, and education in the field of diabetes. The Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia University Medical Center opened in October 1998 under the direction of Dr. Goland and co-director Dr. Rudolph Leibel, combining premier family-centered patient care and education with world-class diabetes research programs. Today more than 1500 patients with diabetes are seen monthly. The clinical space is directly adjacent to research laboratories working on the prevention, treatment, and ultimately cure of diabetes.

Thanks Dr osaye for being the perfect doctor I found, I couldn’t imagine living with hsv virus for the rest of my life, because it has been said that the virus cannot be cured, but thank God I finally got a cure and after 3 months I haven’t seen any blisters and have been tested negative thank you so much Dr you have a way of making things better.

My heart breaks for our tiny heroes who have to go through all the needles, calculations and forced eating. My daughter was diagnosed this March at just under 2 yrs 3months old. I hate this deseas. My heart breaks for the little ones.

I'm type 1 for 18years.I didn't smoke, drink, very clean lifestyle, exercise 5 times aweek. At 55 my life is great, praise our Lord Jesus Christ every day

my god the comments people are making because of the noise she's making. She's up in front of an intelligent NYC audience, shes probably a little nervous. Why dont we listen to the content and her outpouring of compassion for children instead of judging her.

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 21. It's stressful at times but I've adjusted as one does because I have to. My grandfather was also a type 1 diabetic (diagnosed as a child) and his mother initially treated it by basically starving him because there was no alternative. He started taking insulin as a teenager, but the only way to get any sense of one's blood sugar back then was with ketone tests, which basically tell you too little too late—if ketones are showing in your urine, then you've been too high for too long. He eventually died from ketoacidosis in his fifties because he did not manage himself. It is an admittedly awful disease that demands a lot of the patient all day, everyday, but I'm frankly just glad I was born in an age where I wasn't doomed to a young and painful death.

the healthcare industry will never allow us to be cured. :(

I have type 1 diabetes and it's the most devastating disease, it's crushed my dreams. My doctors tell me they are extremely close to curing it from stem cell research

Thank you for this excellent talk focussing on Type 1 Diabetes and the hope of a cure. We have to live in hope and keep working hard on managing it in the meantime.

Unfortunately, doctor's have been telling us that they think they'll be a cure "in the next 10 years", since my FATHER was diagnosed in the 1940's. In all that time, from the point of view of the diabetic, treatment has not changed noticeably. :(
Nor have the complications. My father died of Kidney disease, I have Retinopathy and will be blind, eventually.
Diabetes DOES HURT. And we PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE of that hurt. I am forced to pay for a Doctor's appointment, or they refuse to give me prescriptions, that I've been taking for 30 years... That now cost 10 times (or more) than they did OVER THE COUNTER, 10 years ago.
"In the future" has been spouted to me, and mine, for 30 YEARS! Damn you, and yours, for using hope and the misery of children to profit. Damn. You.

[nasirjega]

I have only made one promise to Dr osaye, and that’s when I promised to make my faith stronger, and have the guts that I will be healed, and I still don’t know how his herbs do it but I was recently tested negative for diabetes and since then I’ve always had hope and never doubted
Thanks doctor..

[malirabbit]

I am currently using a pump. Along with the sensor. State of the art technology. Diebetes does still hurts!

[shenglanliu]
