Early eating habits shape celiac disease risk in young kids, study shows

This long-term study reveals that dietary patterns in the first two years of life can significantly influence the risk of developing celiac disease autoimmunity (CDA) and celiac disease in genetically predisposed children. High intake of vegetable fats and milk at 9 months reduced CDA risk, while at 24 months, certain foods like wheat and vegetable fats increased the risk, emphasizing the role of non-gluten dietary factors.

Oral diabetes and obesity meds danuglipron and orforglipron show promise but have gastrointestinal drawbacks

New orally-administered GLP-1 receptor agonists danuglipron and orforglipron show promise in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity, according to a systematic review. While effective in glycemic control and weight reduction, these drugs come with gastrointestinal side effects that may lead to treatment discontinuation.

Antiviral treatment emerges as a potential game-changer in curbing type 1 diabetes progression

New research from the University of Oslo reveals antiviral drugs could help preserve insulin production in children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, potentially slowing down or even preventing the disease. The study, building on earlier findings linking enterovirus to type 1 diabetes, showed that antiviral treatment led to maintained insulin production, proposing a new therapeutic avenue to treat and mitigate the progression of type 1 diabetes.

Universal screening: A game-changer in early detection and management of type 1 diabetes

Dr. Emily K. Sims discusses the crucial role of universal type 1 diabetes (T1D) screening in early detection, especially in individuals without a family history, at the EASD Annual Meeting. This proactive approach, aligned with disease-modifying therapies, aims to prevent severe diabetic ketoacidosis episodes, marking a stride towards better management of T1D.
