Panelists 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.

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.

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.

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.

Panelists 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.

Donna Ryan, MD, discusses the most significant clinical trials published this year in the field of obesity medicine.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
