What does the stock market have to do with curing type 1 diabetes?

Actually...a lot.

In this episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, my friend Julia Flaherty joins me to pull back the curtain on the business side of diabetes research. We talk about how biotech companies raise money, why investors get excited about clinical trial results, what happens when a company gets acquired, and why so many people living with T1D are becoming shareholders themselves.

If you've ever wondered why a company's stock jumps after a promising study—or how someone could potentially invest in the future of diabetes research—this episode is for you.

This isn't investment advice. It's simply an honest, easy-to-understand conversation about the money that helps fund the race toward better treatments and, hopefully, one day, a cure for type 1 diabetes.
