Indeed, many other are present T1D, including dysfunction α cells, exocrine pancreas, sympathetic islet neuropathy, hemorrhages within islets.1, 2 Given this, it seems obvious strategies to prevent treat T1D based on autoimmunity alone doomed fail over time.

Abstract Diagnosis and management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) have remained largely unchanged for the last several years. The disease remains primarily focused on its phenotypical presentation less endotypes, namely specific biological mechanisms behind development disease. Furthermore, treatment T1D is essentially universal indiscriminate—with patients administering insulin at varying dosages frequencies to maintain adequate glycaemic control. However, it now well understood that a heterogeneous with many different (i.e. endotypes) complex pathophysiology. A range factors, including age onset, immune system regulation, rate β‐cell destruction, autoantibodies, body weight, genetics exposome are recognised play role in condition. Patients can be classified into distinct diabetic subtypes based these which used categorise endotypes. classification endotypes allows greater understanding natural progression disease, giving rise more accurate patient‐centred therapies follow‐up monitoring, specifically other autoimmune diseases.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) represents an autoimmune disease caused by the gradual immune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing beta cells within pancreatic islets Langerhans, resulting in lifelong need for exogenous insulin therapy. According to recent estimates, T1D currently affects about 8.4 million individuals worldwide. Since a definitive biological cure this is not available yet, there great novel therapeutic strategies aimed at safely and effectively altering natural history during its sequential stages. Ideal goals include prevention beta-cell destruction, preservation residual mass endogenous secretion, replacement and/or regeneration cells, as well automated delivery through advanced closed-loop artificial pancreas systems. With regard, important research area focused on identification represented investigation immunotherapeutic beta-cell-protective agents used disease-modifying therapies forestall or eliminate dependence. In commentary, we discuss reasons why use combination targeting multiple immunometabolic dysfunctions associated with (other than autoimmunity) likely be more effective preserving cell function different stages T1D, compared single agents.

Methods In this phase 2b multicentre, open‐label, comparator‐controlled, parallel‐group, non‐inferiority study, we randomly assigned 33 LADA who had a fasting C‐peptide concentration ≥0.2 nmol/L (0.6 ng/mL) to receive 1‐year daily treatment either combination saxagliptin (5 mg) plus dapagliflozin (10 or (starting dose: 10 IU), both on top metformin.

Despite the therapeutic benefits of insulin-pramlintide dual-hormone therapy in diabetes, its application potential has been limited due to a lack efficient delivery routes. Here, we developed temperature-responsive foam nanoengine (HormFoam) and combined it with customized spraying device further construct an situ foam-generating system for improving rectal bioavailability therapy. To support rapid clinical translation, continuous microfluidic preparation HormFoam was proposed, including power unit perfluorocarbon nanodroplets pharmaceutical components Pluronic F127-functionalized liposomal insulin pramlintide.

Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) is the most prevalent form (AI-D) in adulthood; however, its accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment remain challenging. Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) commonly observed LADA patients, while increased vitamin exposure through supplementation dietary intake associated with a reduced incidence LADA. Although limited, case reports, case-control studies, randomized clinical trials have examined effects supplementation—alone or combined dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4-is)—on glucose regulation, residual β-cell function, glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA65) levels. Findings, preliminary, indicate that may enhance glycemic control, preserve reduce activity. Given accessibility, affordability, relative safety, presents an attractive adjunct option for patients. This narrative review discusses current evidence on potential therapeutic benefits patients AI-D, including LADA, who are also deficient.

Type 1 diabetes (TID) is a chronic disease caused by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells, that progresses in three stages: 1) stage 1: β-cell autoimmunity + normoglycemia; 2) 2: mild dysglycemia; 3) 3: symptomatic hyperglycemia.
