T1Ds are Using GLP-1s: The Latest Research & The Road to Coverage
Manage episode 499532327 series 3662135
We dive into the growing off-label use of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro among people with type 1 diabetes. I'm joined by longtime diabetes advocate and healthcare executive Marie Schiller to explore the benefits, risks, and evolving research around these drugs. We discuss new studies, including the ADJUST-T1D trial, showing improved A1C, increased time in range, reduced insulin needs, and moderate weight loss—without major safety concerns. Marie shares her personal journey with GLP-1s, why they could be a game-changer when combined with AID systems, and the barriers to insurance coverage and FDA approval. The conversation also covers how people are accessing these medications, ongoing clinical trials, and the need for a multipronged treatment approach in type 1 care.
