Thank you all for signing T1D Signal’s call to reclassify cadaveric pancreatic islet cells as organs!
Every signature strengthens pressure on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the FDA.
Please reshare the petition directly with people affected by Type 1 diabetes—patients, families, clinicians, transplant teams, and advocates. We welcome you to post a text or short video comment on the petition page about insulin burden, overnight monitoring, severe hypoglycemia, or why islet access matters.
Your comments illustrate the real stakes for the Type 1 diabetes community, especially children, young adults, caregivers, and people who could benefit from a functional cure. Keep up the good work!
With gratitude,
Kara, T1D Signal
