STOP T1D

From a recent Nature podcast, research news of a topical cream being tested that could help insulin be absorbed through the skin: "Researchers have developed a skin-permeable polymer that can deliver insulin into the body, which they say could one day offer an alternative to injections for diabetes management. The skin’s structure presents a formidable barrier to the delivery of large drugs but in this work a team show that their polymer can pe*****te though the different layers without causing damage. Insulin attached to this polymer was able to reduce blood glucose levels in animal models for diabetes at a comparable speed to injected insulin. While further research is required on the long-term safety of this strategy, the team hope it could offer a way to non-invasively deliver other large-molecule drugs into the body."

T1D Info for FAMILIES | Ask the Experts https://www.asktheexperts.org/for-families

In type 1 diabetes (T1D), the immune system destroys cells in the pancreas that make insulin. Insulin helps us use the energy from foods we eat. A person who has T1D needs lifelong daily insulin injections to stay healthy. Screening for T1D — with a simple blood test for T1D associated antibodies ...

New in T1D : Outcomes are promising after just 3 months into trials using Finerenon (a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonist drug) to help protect the kidneys of people living with type 1 diabetes...

"This is the first work in in over three decades that has shown 'a beneficial risk profile for patients that will likely translate into long-term kidney protection and possibly also cardiovascular disease prevention,' said first author Hiddo J. Heerspink, MD, from the University Medical Center Groningen, the Netherlands, who presented the late-breaking findings."
