Have T1 diabetes, have been part of a clinical study during the "honeymoon stage" (when you are still producing a little insulin), to see if this phase can be prolonged, it didn't, still have T1 and my pancreas is about as useful as a meringue dildo.

Edit : "much better glucose levels were achieved with this approach compared with standard care that included use of continuous glucose monitoring; however, unfortunately a benefit on the pancreas was not observed."

This sentence completely contradicts the heading.

That sentence was preceded by this one: > In addition to evaluating verapamil, the trial also assessed whether an intensive glucose management approach that included use of an automated insulin delivery system to try to get glucose levels as close to normal as possible could have a beneficial effect on the pancreas’ insulin secretion.

So I read it that the glucose management had no benefit to the pancreas, whereas the Verapamil did. Though it’s not very clear.
