In July, 24-year old Andrew Beaver of Halifax was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. A few weeks later, he found out about a clinical trial in Toronto involving a drug usually used to treat psoriasis and Cron's disease. Researchers say two of the four people that have completed the 18-month trial have eliminated the need for insulin. Andrew is now a few weeks into his trial and he doesn't know if he's on the drug or a placebo. He explains his experiences so far, and his hope for a diabetes free diagnoses.
