In Autumn 2018 my Granddaughter (then 16 months old) became a person with Type 1 Diabetes (T1DM). Why this autoimmune condition occurs is not really clearly understood at present. At that time I could see how my work could be useful in T1DM and so I pivoted away from my <pastwork and focused my entire research portfolio (except accessibility) to T1DM, recruiting 8 Doctoral Candidates (including an NHS clinician and NHS Dietitian), creating a multi-disciplinary team across the NHS, Diabetes UK, FBMH, and the Manchester Diabetes Institute; setting up a pipeline for this research by building a start-up in stage 3 with UoMInnovationFactory securing early funding for our initial pilots; and expanding grant income, via a Wellcome Trust Access to Expertise, with NIHR and MRC applicants slated for the end of this year and the beginning of next.
