Both metformin and GLP-1 RAs have been studies for their neuroprotective effects; this study is the first head-to-head investigation and supports further research.
Final Thoughts on Identifying and Managing Patients with T1D
Panelists discuss how early identification of Type 1 diabetes through screening programs, combined with emerging therapies like teplizumab, offers new opportunities for intervention and improved patient outcomes in at-risk populations.
Patient Selection For Teplizumab and Infusion Process
Panelists discuss how patient selection for teplizumab therapy requires screening for specific autoantibodies and stages of Type 1 diabetes, followed by a standardized 14-day outpatient infusion protocol with careful monitoring for side effects.
Overview of Teplizumab for Delaying Onset and Progression of Type 1 Diabetes
Panelists discuss how teplizumab, the first FDA-approved disease-modifying therapy for Type 1 diabetes, can delay disease onset by targeting CD3+ T cells and preserving beta cell function in high-risk individuals.
Types of Antibody Screening Tests for Type 1 Diabetes
Panelists discuss how islet autoantibody testing serves as a critical screening tool for identifying Type 1 diabetes risk, with tests detecting antibodies against insulin, GAD65, IA-2, and ZnT8 proteins being the most clinically validated markers.
Patient Selection for Teplizumab and Infusion Process
January 20th 2025Panelists discuss how patient selection for teplizumab therapy requires careful screening for autoantibody positivity and preserved C-peptide function, followed by a 14-day outpatient infusion process that needs close monitoring for cytokine release syndrome and other potential adverse effects.
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.
