  1. New advances in type 1 diabetes

    Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition resulting in insulin deficiency and eventual loss of pancreatic β cell function requiring lifelong insulin therapy. Since the discovery of insulin more than 100 years ago, vast advances in treatments have improved care for many people with type 1 diabetes. Ongoing research on the genetics and immunology of type 1 diabetes and on interventions to ...

    Abstract. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by insulin deficiency and resultant hyperglycaemia. Knowledge of type 1 diabetes has rapidly increased over the past 25 years, resulting in a broad understanding about many aspects of the disease, including its genetics, epidemiology, immune and β-cell phenotypes, and ...

  4. Current and future therapies for type 1 diabetes

    In its early stage (Stage 1), type 1 diabetes is usually asymptomatic; however, the development of autoimmunity is often detectable in early life, with circulating autoantibodies targeting insulin or other proteins, such as GAD65, insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA­2) or zinc transporter 8 (ZNT8) [].When a large portion of the beta cell mass has become dysfunctional or lost, asymptomatic ...

    The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study in the United States found a 1.4% per year increase in T1D incidence from 2002 to 2012, with an unexpected increase in Hispanic youths (14). This increase in the United States is similar to the gradual worldwide annual increase in T1D incidence over the past 30 years.

    The burden of type 1 diabetes in 2021 is vast and is expected to increase rapidly, especially in resource-limited countries. Most incident and prevalent cases are adults. The substantial missing prevalence highlights the premature mortality of type 1 diabetes and an opportunity to save and extend lives of people with type 1 diabetes. Our new model, which will be made publicly available as the ...

  10. Defining a cure for type 1 diabetes: a call to action

    This year (2021), the diabetes community celebrates the centennial discovery of insulin replacement therapy, which has been a lifesaver for millions of patients with type 1 diabetes. Although improvements in diabetes management have become increasingly efficient in controlling glycaemia by use of synthetic insulins, glucose-sensing devices, insulin pumps, and most recently hybrid closed-loop ...

    Type 1 diabetes affects millions of people globally and requires careful management to avoid serious long-term complications, including heart and kidney disease, stroke, and loss of sight. The type 1 diabetes patient cohort is highly heterogeneous, with individuals presenting with disease at different stages and severities, arising from distinct etiologies, and overlaying varied genetic ...

  13. Recent Advances

    Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune attack of insulin-producing beta-cells. While genetics and the environment are known to play important roles, the underlying factors explaining why the immune system mistakenly recognize beta-cells as foreign is not known. Now, Dr. Delong has discovered a potential explanation.

  14. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Review on Advances and Challenges in

    1. Introduction. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common group of metabolic disorders affecting the population in 2021. More than one in ten people, which is equivalent to 537 million people worldwide, suffers from DM, making it one of the biggest health problems in the world [].It encloses a group of chronic disorders that can be split into four major categories: type 1 diabetes mellitus ...

  15. Changing the landscape for type 1 diabetes: the first step to

    Over several decades, studies have described the progression of autoimmune diabetes, from the first appearance of autoantibodies until, and after, the diagnosis of clinical disease with hyperglycaemia and insulin dependence. Despite the improved management of type 1 diabetes with exogenous insulin, most patients do not meet clinical glycaemic goals, and diabetes remains an important medical ...

    Type 1 Research Highlights. While the Association's priority is to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes, type 1 diabetes is a critical focus of the organization. In fact, in 2016, 37 percent of our research budget was dedicated to projects relevant to type 1 diabetes. Read more about the critical research made possible by the ...

  17. Type 1 Diabetes Research At-a-Glance

    The burden of type 1 diabetes remains substantial, and more research is needed to improve the lives of people with type 1 diabetes and to find a cure. To this end, ADA-funded research continues to drive progress by funding research projects topics spanning technology, islet transplantation, immunology, improving transition to self-management ...
