December 23rd 2024
The FDA has approved the first generic once-daily GLP-1 injection for the improvement of glycemic control for type 2 diabetes in patients 10 years and up.
Impact of Delayed Intervention In Stage 2 Type 1 Diabetes
December 23rd 2024Panelists discuss how delaying intervention during Stage 2 Type 1 diabetes increases the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis and complications at diagnosis, while also potentially accelerating beta cell destruction and reducing the window for preservation therapies.
Defining the Stages of Type 1 Diabetes
December 23rd 2024Panelists discuss how Type 1 diabetes progresses through distinct stages, from initial autoimmunity with normal blood glucose (Stage 1), to dysglycemia without symptoms (Stage 2), to clinical diagnosis with symptoms (Stage 3), marking critical intervention points for treatment and management.
Guidelines for Type 1 Diabetes Screening
December 23rd 2024Panelists discuss how screening for Type 1 diabetes should focus on identifying high-risk individuals through family history, genetic markers, and autoantibody testing, while emphasizing the importance of early detection to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis.
Impact of Delayed Intervention in Stage 2 Type 1 Diabetes
Panelists discuss how delayed intervention in stage II type 1 diabetes can accelerate β cell destruction, leading to more severe clinical onset, increased risk of serious complications like diabetic ketoacidosis, and poorer long-term outcomes.
Stages and Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes
Panelists discuss how type 1 diabetes progresses through distinct stages, beginning with asymptomatic autoantibody presence, followed by dysglycemia, and ultimately manifesting with classic symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss.
Screening Guidelines for Type 1 Diabetes
Panelists discuss early testing with autoantibody screening for type 1 diabetes in at-risk individuals, particularly those with family history or genetic predisposition, to avoid DKA at diagnosis and allow time for patient and family preparation.
Panelists discuss the burden of living with type 1 diabetes, including high levels of stress and anxiety and talk about how they help patients manage the daily requirements.
Assessing the Burden of Type 1 Diabetes
December 19th 2024Panelists discuss how Type 1 diabetes imposes significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens on patients through the lifelong need for insulin therapy, blood glucose monitoring, lifestyle modifications, and management of potential complications.
Facilities for Teplizumab Infusion
Panelists discuss how teplizumab infusion requires specialized medical facilities equipped to manage intravenous therapy, monitor for potential adverse effects, and provide appropriate care during treatment to ensure patient safety and efficacy.
Teplizumab for Delaying Onset and Progression of T1D
Panelists discuss how teplizumab, an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, delays the onset and progression of type 1 diabetes by modulating immune response and preserving ß-cell function in high-risk individuals.
Panelists discuss screening for T1D for individuals at higher risk, such as those with a family history of T1D, autoimmune conditions, or certain genetic markers, to identify early signs of the disease and enable timely intervention.
Antibody Screening Tests for T1D
Panelists discuss how antibody screening tests for type 1 diabetes (T1D), including tests for insulin autoantibodies (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibodies, and other markers can help identify individuals at risk for developing the disease before clinical symptoms appear, enabling earlier monitoring and potential intervention.
Consequences of Delaying Intervention in Stage 2 T1D
Panelists discuss how delaying intervention in stage 2 type 1 diabetes, when dysglycemia is present but clinical symptoms have not yet developed, can lead to further ß-cell deterioration and worsen long-term glycemic control, ultimately increasing the risk of complications.
Examining the Stages of T1D Progression
Panelists discuss how the progression of type 1 diabetes unfolds through distinct stages, from the preclinical phase of autoimmunity to the onset of clinical diabetes, emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention to improve patient outcomes.
Guidelines on Screening for T1D
Panelists discuss how adhering to screening guidelines for type 1 diabetes enables early detection and intervention, improving patient outcomes and delaying disease progression through timely treatments like teplizumab.
Panelists discuss how managing the clinical, financial, and quality-of-life burdens of type 1 diabetes (T1D) requires early intervention, proactive care strategies, and the use of treatments like teplizumab to improve patient outcomes and reduce long-term complications.
