There are twenty million people worldwide suffering from Type 1 diabetes, for which there is currently no cure - only ways to manage the symptoms.
Katie Goodhart is nine-years-old. Not one day since she was one has this little girl been able to drop her guard against a disease that can kill her in her sleep - Type 1 diabetes.
Mum Erin is on watch around the clock. ?The worst case scenario is that this costs her a life,? Erin said.
Her answer could come from Professor Len Harrison.
?I've been working on Type 1 diabetes prevention for about 30 years, and so this in a way is a culmination of all that basic research and animal research. If we were able to prevent Type 1 diabetes, I think I could eventually retire, but I have no intention of retiring until we get close to that at least,? Professor Harrison said.
