How can emerging disease-modifying therapies reshape the trajectory of type 1 diabetes?
In this episode, our host, Dr. Alice Cheng, discusses the cutting-edge landscape of type 1 diabetes (T1D) prevention and intervention with Dr. Bruce Perkins, endocrinologist, epidemiologist, clinician-scientist, and professor in the Faculty of Medicine and the Institute for Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto.
Join our experts as they explore how T1D care is shifting from symptom management through insulin replacement toward early intervention in a disease that develops silently over years. Discover the clinical benefits of early disease modification and the transformative potential of novel therapeutic targets in delaying T1D onset and preserving beta-cell function. Learn about the practical mechanics of emerging therapies, where they precisely target the immune system, and how clinicians can take practical steps to screen, identify, and intervene before clinical symptoms or hyperglycemia present.
Tune in as we discuss the future of T1D care, exploring how population-wide screening and precision biomarker matching are actively bridging the critical gap between groundbreaking research and its clinical application.
