We applaud the thoughtful letter from Vialettes and Valero (1) bringing attention to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress as a potential mechanism influencing the decline in β-cell function observed in individuals with type 1 diabetes. We agree that it is a plausible mechanism underlying the preservation of C-peptide seen with aggressive correction of metabolic dysregulation and look forward …
