Abstract
Many individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) do not achieve their management goals. The patient perspective on unmet needs in T1D may guide the role of adjunctive therapies, including glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs). A quantitative online survey (n = 133) assessed (1) self-reported demographic and management data, (2) management priorities, satisfaction, and willingness to use adjunctive therapies and (3) conducted a risk-benefit analysis using three masked drug profiles (1.8 mg vs 0.6 mg liraglutide vs placebo). A subgroup of respondents (n = 20) participated in semi-structured interviews to extend upon survey insights. Needs were unmet by current treatment in 28% of surveyed individuals. The greatest unmet needs included (1) glycemia, (2) management-related fatigue, and (3) weight management. Most respondents (94%) indicated that they would use adjunctive therapies. The preferred administration route was daily tablets (66%) followed by weekly injections (32%). Metabolic improvements were most valued (reduction in hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia). Most respondents (94%) preferred the liraglutide risk-benefit profile (1.8 mg, then 0.6 mg) over placebo. Individuals with T1D self-report many unmet needs. While not currently approved in T1D, GLP-1RA properties align with many management priorities reported by individuals with T1D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tirzepatide is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the management of type 2 diabetes. The efficacy and safety of this drug have not been studied in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS In this single-center, retrospective, observational study, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), weight, body mass index (BMI), and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data were collected from electronic health records of adults with T1D at initiation of tirzepatide and at subsequent clinic visits over 8 months. Primary outcomes were reduction in HbA1c and percent change in body weight and secondary outcomes were change in CGM metrics and BMI over 8 months from baseline. RESULTS The mean (±SD) age of the 26 adults (54% female) with T1D was 42 ± 8 years with a mean BMI of 36.7 ± 5.3 kg/m2. There was significant reduction in HbA1c by 0.45% at 3 months and 0.59% at 8 months, and a significant reduction in body weight by 3.4%, 10.5%, and 10.1% at 3, 6, and 8 months after starting tirzepatide. Time in target range (TIR = 70-180 mg/dL) and time in tight target range (TITR = 70-140 mg/dL) increased (+12.6%, P = .002; +10.7%, P = .0016, respectively) and time above range (TAR >180 mg/dL) decreased (-12.6%, P = .002) at 3 months, and these changes were sustained over 8 months. The drug was relatively safe and well tolerated with only 2 patients discontinuing the medication. CONCLUSIONS Tirzepatide significantly reduced HbA1c and body weight in adults with T1D. A randomized controlled trial is needed to establish efficacy and safety of this drug in T1D.

Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Analogues as Adjunctive Therapy for Patients With Type 1 Diabetes: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2023; 109:279-292. [PMID: 37561012 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Concomitant obesity is common among patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), yet adjunctive therapy options are scarce. OBJECTIVE We assess the efficacy and adverse outcomes of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogues when used as adjunctive therapy for T1DM. METHOD PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central, and Scopus databases were searched for randomized controlled trials up to December 2022. Efficacy outcomes were A1c level, body weight, and total daily insulin (TDI) after ≥12 weeks of GLP-1 therapy. We also assessed 12 different adverse outcomes. Subgroup analysis was done for newly diagnosed or C-peptide positive (C-pos) patients. We report the certainty of evidence based on the GRADE assessment tool. RESULTS A total of 24 studies using 4 different GLP-1 analogues with a total of 3377 patients were included. Liraglutide had the most substantial evidence with effect sizes on A1c (-0.09%/mg), weight (-2.2 kg/mg), and TDI (-4.32 IU/mg). Liraglutide dose was the greatest predictor of greater average weight loss and TDI decrease but was associated with higher odds of nausea (OR 6.5; 95% CI, 5.0-8.4) and ketosis (OR 1.8; 95% CI, 1.1-2.8). Odds of severe (OR 0.67; 95% CI, 0.43-1.04) or symptomatic hypoglycemia (OR 0.89; 95% CI, 0.53-1.51) were not significantly elevated. Among C-pos patients, greater A1c decrease (-0.51% vs -0.28%) but similar weight loss and TDI were seen. Effect sizes for exenatide were similar, but studies had higher risk of bias and safety data were sparse. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis supports therapeutic benefits of liraglutide for patients with T1DM mainly for weight loss and insulin dose reduction. Newly diagnosed or C-pos patients do not appear to experience greater weight loss benefits.

Abstract
Incretin-based therapies, in particular glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, have been evaluated in other forms of diabetes, but randomised controlled trials are mainly limited to people living with type 1 diabetes. In this review we present the evidence issuing from these trials and discuss their clinical implications as well as the difficulties in interpreting the data. In type 1 diabetes, the addition of GLP-1 receptor agonists to intensive insulin therapy lowers weight and required insulin doses compared with placebo, but the effects on glucose control (HbA1c, risk of hypoglycaemia) are dependent on the different study protocols. Side effects are limited to the gastrointestinal complaints of nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. We briefly discuss the potential for using GLP-1 receptor agonists as (adjunct) therapies in other forms of diabetes, where the evidence to date is scarce.

Abstract
Wolfram syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder typically characterized by juvenile onset diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, hearing loss, diabetes insipidus, and neurodegeneration. There would be a high index of clinical suspicion for WS when clinical manifestations of type 1 diabetes and optic atrophy present together. Genetic analysis is often required to confirm the diagnosis. We describe a pair of Chinese siblings diagnosed with WS at ages 20 and 24 years, respectively. DNA sequencing of the WFS1 gene which encodes for Wolframin ER Transmembrane Glycoprotein identified a heterozygous nonsense variant NM_006005.3: c.1999C>T p.(Gln667*) and a heterozygous missense variant c.2170C>T p.(Pro724Ser) in exon 8 of the gene for both siblings. There is no curative treatment for WS and management of this debilitating disease is aimed at treating individual clinical manifestations, slowing disease progression, and improving quality of life. Treatment with liraglutide, a glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonist, and tauroursodeoxycholic acid was started for the younger sibling, the proband. There was reduction in insulin requirements and improvement in glycemic control. The other sibling was not offered liraglutide due to her complex treatment regimen for end-organ failure. Genetic testing is a valuable tool to detect WS early to allow precise and prompt diagnosis, thereby facilitating the coordinated care from a multidisciplinary team of clinicians.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There have been many recent advances in the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D) including in insulin formulations, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology and automated insulin delivery. However, long-term optimal glycemic control is still only achieved in a minority. AREAS COVERED Adjunct therapy - the use of therapeutic agents other than insulin - is one strategy aimed at improving outcomes. An ideal adjunct agent would improve glycemic control, reduce weight (or weight gain), reduce insulin requirement and prevent complications (e.g. cardiorenal) without increasing hypoglycemia. The amylin analogue pramlintide has been licensed in the USA, while the sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) dapagliflozin, was briefly (2019 - 2021) licensed for type 1 diabetes in Europe and the UK. However, other agents from the type 2 diabetes (T2D) arena including metformin, other SGLT2is, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-4) inhibitors have been investigated. EXPERT OPINION As evidence emerges for cardiorenal protection by SGLT2is and GLP-1RAs in T2D, it has become increasingly important to know whether people with T1D can also benefit. Here, we review recent trials of adjunct agents in T1D and discuss the efficacy and safety of these agents (alone and in combination) in an era in which continuous glucose monitoring is becoming standard of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces cardiac and cerebral microvascular dysfunction via increased glycation, oxidative stress and endothelial activation. Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, inhibited NOX2 and adhesion molecules in isolated endothelial cells. Here, we have studied how Liraglutide affects advanced glycation, NOX expression and inflammation of the cardiac, cerebral and renal microvasculature in diabetic rats. METHODS DM was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 15) via intraperitoneal streptozotocin (STZ) injection (60 mg/kg bodyweight). Ten control rats remained nondiabetic. From day 9 post-STZ injection, Liraglutide (200 μg/kg bodyweight; n = 7) or vehicle (n = 8) was injected subcutaneously daily until termination on day 29. The advanced glycation endproduct N-ε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), NOX2, NOX4, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were subsequently immunohistochemically analysed and quantified to compare Liraglutide treatment with placebo. RESULTS In the heart, Liraglutide treatment significantly reduced the DM-increased scores/cm2 for CML in both ventricles (from 253 ± 53 to 72 ± 12; p = .003) and atria (343 ± 29 to 122 ± 8; p = .0001) and for NOX2, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, but not for NOX4. Also in the cerebrum and cerebellum of the brain, Liraglutide significantly reduced the scores/cm2 for CML (to 60 ± 7 (p = .0005) and 47 ± 13 (p = .02), respectively), and for NOX2 and NOX4. In the kidney, the DM-induced expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 was decreased in the blood vessels and glomeruli by Liraglutide treatment. Liraglutide did not affect blood glucose levels or bodyweight. CONCLUSIONS Our study implies that Liraglutide protects the cardiac, cerebral and renal microvasculature against diabetes-induced dysfunction, independent of lowering blood glucose in a type 1 diabetes rat model.

Abstract
CONTEXT The effect of liraglutide in C-peptide-positive (C-pos) type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients during hypoglycemia remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of a 12-week liraglutide treatment on the body glucose fluxes during a hypoglycemic clamp in C-pos T1D patients and its impact on the alpha- and beta-cell responses during hypoglycemia. DESIGN This was a randomized, double-blind, crossover study. Each C-pos T1D patient was allocated to the treatment sequence liraglutide/placebo or placebo/liraglutide with daily injections for 12 weeks adjunct to insulin treatment, separated by a 4-week washout period. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Fourteen T1D patients with fasting C-peptide ≥ 0.1 nmol/L. INTERVENTION(S) All patients underwent a hyperinsulinemic-stepwise-hypoglycemic clamp with isotope tracer [plasma glucose (PG) plateaus: 5.5, 3.5, 2.5, and 3.9 mmol/L] after a 3-month liraglutide (1.2 mg) or placebo treatment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) The responses of endogenous glucose production (EGP) and rate of peripheral glucose disposal (Rd) were similar for liraglutide and placebo treatment during the clamp. RESULTS The numbers of hypoglycemic events were similar in both groups. At the clamp, mean glucagon levels were significantly lower at PG plateau 5.5 mmol/L in the liraglutide than in the placebo group but showed similar responses to hypoglycemia in both groups. Mean C-peptide levels were significantly higher at PG-plateaus 5.5 and 3.5 mmol/L after liraglutide treatment, but this effect was not reflected in EGP and Rd. Hemoglobin A1c and body weight were lower, and a trend for reduced insulin was seen after liraglutide treatment. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that 3 months of liraglutide treatment does not promote or prolong hypoglycemia in C-pos T1D patients.

Glucose-Lowering Therapy beyond Insulin in Type 1 Diabetes: A Narrative Review on Existing Evidence from Randomized Controlled Trials and Clinical Perspective. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14061180. [PMID: 35745754 PMCID: PMC9229408 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14061180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: In Type 1 diabetes (T1D), according to the most recent guidelines, the everyday glucose-lowering treatment is still restricted to the use of subcutaneous insulin, while multiple therapeutic options exist for Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: For this narrative review we unsystematically screened PubMed and Embase to identify clinical trials which investigated glucose-lowering agents as an adjunct to insulin treatment in people with T1D. Published studies up to March 2022 were included. We discuss the safety and efficacy in modifying cardiovascular risk factors for each drug, the current status of research, and provide a clinical perspective. Results: For several adjunct agents, in T1D, the scientific evidence demonstrates improvements in HbA1c, reductions in the risk of hypoglycemia, and achievements of lower insulin requirements, as well as positive effects on cardiovascular risk factors, such as blood lipids, blood pressure, and weight. As the prevalence of obesity, the major driver for double diabetes, is rising, weight and cardiovascular risk factor management is becoming increasingly important in people with T1D. Conclusions: Adjunct glucose-lowering agents, intended to be used in T2D, bear the potential to beneficially impact on cardiovascular risk factors when investigated in the T1D population and are suggested to be more extensively considered as potentially disease-modifying drugs in the future and should be investigated for hard cardiovascular endpoints.

Kobayati A, Haidar A, Tsoukas MA. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists as adjunctive treatment for type 1 diabetes: Renewed opportunities through tailored approaches? Diabetes Obes Metab 2022; 24:769-787. [PMID: 34989070 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2021] [Revised: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 01/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Exogenous insulin has been the mainstay treatment for individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Although there has been tremendous growth in both pharmacological and technological advancements, insulin monotherapy has proven to be insufficient for maintaining optimal glycaemic targets for most adults with T1D. At present, there is still no breakthrough for the treatment of T1D. Adjunctive pharmacotherapies might therefore complement insulin management to achieve better glycaemic control, while possibly offering additional benefits. Recent interest in re-purposing glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), a leading antihyperglycaemic medication class approved for type 2 diabetes, has prompted the field to seek extended potential for the T1D population. The adjunctive use of GLP-1RAs has been at the forefront of T1D research, albeit with some conflicting trial findings to date. However, the potential of GLP-1 agonism for T1D may have been underestimated, possibly from missed opportunities or categorized effects. Moreover, some GLP-1RAs have demonstrated extra-pancreatic potential with emerging multi-organ protection involving the heart, kidneys, liver and brain in varied cohorts, which may bode well for the growing T1D profile of comorbid complications. This narrative review aims to summarize and critically appraise the current evidence-based literature from large-scale randomized controlled trials and closed-loop system pilot studies that examined GLP-1RAs as adjunctive therapy for T1D. Furthermore, we outline uncharted opportunities with GLP-1 agonism using versatile approaches in selected T1D populations that may inspire and re-direct future research in this field.

Efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 and estrogen dual agonist in pancreatic islets protection and pre-clinical models of insulin-deficient diabetes. Cell Rep Med 2022; 3:100598. [PMID: 35492248 PMCID: PMC9043999 DOI: 10.1016/j.xcrm.2022.100598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
We study the efficacy of a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and estrogen dual agonist (GLP1-E2) in pancreatic islet protection. GLP1-E2 provides superior protection from insulin-deficient diabetes induced by multiple low-dose streptozotocin (MLD-STZ-diabetes) and by the Akita mutation in mice than a GLP-1 monoagonist. GLP1-E2 does not protect from MLD-STZ-diabetes in estrogen receptor-α (ERα)-deficient mice and fails to prevent diabetes in Akita mice following GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) antagonism, demonstrating the requirement of GLP-1R and ERα for GLP1-E2 antidiabetic actions. In the MIN6 β cell model, GLP1-E2 activates estrogen action following clathrin-dependent, GLP-1R-mediated internalization and lysosomal acidification. In cultured human islet, proteomic bioinformatic analysis reveals that GLP1-E2 amplifies the antiapoptotic pathways activated by monoagonists. However, in cultured mouse islets, GLP1-E2 provides antiapoptotic protection similar to monoagonists. Thus, GLP1-E2 promotes GLP-1 and E2 antiapoptotic signals in cultured islets, but in vivo, additional GLP1-E2 actions in non-islet cells expressing GLP-1R are instrumental to prevent diabetes.

Liraglutide changes body composition and lowers added sugar intake in overweight persons with insulin pump-treated type 1 diabetes. Diabetes Obes Metab 2022; 24:212-220.

Abstract
AIMS To present secondary outcome analyses of liraglutide treatment in overweight adults with insulin pump-treated type 1 diabetes (T1D), focusing on changes in body composition and dimensions, and to evaluate changes in food intake to identify potential dietary drivers of liraglutide-associated weight loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 26-week randomized placebo-controlled study was conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of liraglutide 1.8 mg daily in 44 overweight adults with insulin pump-treated T1D and glucose levels above target, and demonstrated significant glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)- and body weight-reducing effects. For secondary outcome analysis, dual X-ray absorptiometry scans were completed at Weeks 0 and 26, and questionnaire-based food frequency recordings were obtained at Weeks 0, 13 and 26 to characterize liraglutide-induced changes in body composition and food intake. RESULTS Total fat and lean body mass decreased in liraglutide-treated participants (fat mass -4.6 kg [95% confidence interval {CI} -5.7; -3.5], P < 0.001; lean mass -2.5 kg [95% CI -3.2;-1.7], P < 0.001), but remained stable in placebo-treated participants (fat mass -0.3 kg [95% CI -1.3;0.8], P = 0.604; lean mass 0.0 kg [95% CI -0.7;0.7]; P = 0.965 [between-group P values <0.001]). Participants reduced their energy intake numerically more in the liraglutide arm (-1.1 MJ [95% CI -2.0;-0.02], P = 0.02) than in the placebo arm (-0.9 MJ [95% CI -2.0;0.1], P = 0.22), but the between-group difference was statistically insignificant (P = 0.42). However, energy derived from added sugars decreased by 27% in the liraglutide arm compared with an increase of 14% in the placebo arm (P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Liraglutide lowered fat and lean body mass compared with placebo. Further, liraglutide reduced intake of added sugars. However, no significant difference in total daily energy intake was detected between liraglutide- and placebo-treated participants.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy of the short-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, exenatide, added to insulin therapy in type 1 diabetes on bone mineral density and bone turnover markers. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a randomized, double-blinded, parallel-group trial, 108 individuals with type 1 diabetes aged 18 years or older on basal-bolus therapy with HbA1c 59-88 mmol/mol (7.5%-10.0%) and body mass index of more than 22.0 kg/m2 were randomized (1:1) to preprandial subcutaneous injection of 10 μg exenatide (Byetta) before breakfast, lunch, and dinner over 26 weeks as add-on treatment to insulin therapy. RESULTS Exenatide elicited a body weight reduction of 4.4 kg compared with placebo, but no between-group differences in bone mineral density, as assessed by whole-body, hip, lumbar, and forearm dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry following 26 weeks of treatment, were observed. Fasting plasma levels of C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen, a marker of bone resorption, and amino-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen, a marker of bone formation, were unchanged by exenatide compared with placebo after 26 weeks. CONCLUSIONS Despite an exenatide-induced body weight reduction, no changes in bone metabolism were observed with exenatide added to insulin therapy in type 1 diabetes after 26 weeks.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate 26 weeks of liraglutide treatment in type 1 diabetes (T1D) by subgroups in the ADJUNCT ONE and ADJUNCT TWO trials. MATERIALS AND METHODS ADJUNCT ONE and ADJUNCT TWO were randomized controlled phase 3 trials in 1398 and 835 participants with T1D treated with liraglutide (1.8, 1.2, or 0.6 mg) or placebo (adjuncts to insulin). This post hoc analysis evaluated treatment effects by subgroups: HbA1c (< or ≥8.5%), body mass index (BMI; < or ≥27 kg/m2 ), and insulin regimen (basal bolus or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion). RESULTS In both trials at week 26, reductions in HbA1c, body weight, and daily insulin dose did not differ significantly (P > .05) by baseline HbA1c or BMI. Risk of clinically significant hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia with ketosis did not differ significantly (P > .05) by baseline HbA1c, BMI, or insulin regimen. At week 26 in ADJUNCT ONE, these risks did not differ (P > .05) between treatment groups. Placebo-adjusted reductions in HbA1c, body weight, and insulin dose (-0.30%-points, -5.0 kg, and -12%, respectively, with liraglutide 1.8 mg), were significant (P < .05), greater than at week 52, and similar to those in ADJUNCT TWO (-0.35%, -4.8 kg, and -10%, respectively, with liraglutide 1.8 mg). CONCLUSIONS In ADJUNCT ONE and ADJUNCT TWO, the efficacy and glycaemic safety of liraglutide did not depend on subgroups, leaving residual beta-cell function as the only identified variable impacting the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in T1D. These findings support a role for GLP-1 RAs as adjuncts to insulin in T1D, warranting further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with increased mortality, with premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) a major factor. To date, research has identified multiple risk factors for this excess CVD liability. However, gaps remain in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms. RECENT FINDINGS T1DM is generally diagnosed at a young age. Since cardiovascular complications often only manifest at a later stage of life, there is generally less focus in earlier years on reducing CVD risk for affected individuals. This is an area that requires improvement as risk factors might be managed from earlier age to reduce later development of CVD. In this review, we discuss the evidence for cardiovascular risk factors, risk prediction models, candidate surrogate measurements and CVD risk management.

Abstract
In type 1 diabetes, insulin remains the mature therapeutic cornerstone; yet, the increasing number of individuals developing type 1 diabetes (predominantly children and adolescents) still face severe complications. Fortunately, our understanding of type 1 diabetes is continuously being refined, allowing for refocused development of novel prevention and management strategies. Hitherto, attempts based on immune suppression and modulation have been only partly successful in preventing the key pathophysiological feature in type 1 diabetes: the immune-mediated derangement or destruction of beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, leading to low or absent insulin secretion and chronic hyperglycaemia. Evidence now warrants a focus on the beta cell itself and how to avoid its dysfunction, which is putatively caused by cytokine-driven inflammation and other stress factors, leading to low insulin-secretory capacity, autoantigen presentation and immune-mediated destruction. Correspondingly, beta cell rescue strategies are being pursued, which include antigen vaccination using, for example, oral insulin or peptides, as well as agents with suggested benefits on beta cell stress, such as verapamil and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. Whilst autoimmune-focused prevention approaches are central in type 1 diabetes and will be a requirement in the advent of stem cell-based replacement therapies, managing the primarily cardiometabolic complications of established type 1 diabetes is equally essential. In this review, we outline selected recent and suggested future attempts to address the evolving profile of the person with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
The growing proportion of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients with clinical features of insulin resistance (IR) has led to the description of a distinctive T1DM subgroup, still unrecognised by current guidelines, called double diabetes, assumingly associated with poorer metabolic phenotype and increased risk of micro- and macrovascular complications. The main goal of identifying double diabetes, estimated to be present in up to half of T1DM patients, is timely implementation of appropriate therapeutic interventions to reduce the increased risk of chronic complications and other adverse metabolic traits associated with this condition. Proposed diagnostic criteria are largely divided into three different groups: family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity/metabolic syndrome, and IR. Estimated glucose disposal rate may prove the most reliable marker of double diabetes. In addition to general measures (diet, physical activity, antihypertensive, and lipid-lowering medications, etc.) and development of new insulin preparations with more hepatic action, double diabetes patients may derive more benefit from agents developed for T2DM. Indeed, such potentially promising agents include glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, sodium-glucose contrasporter-2 inhibitors, and their combination. We are now awaiting long-term trials assessing metabolic and vascular benefits of these medications in double diabetes.

Abstract
AIM To systematically review the effects of pharmacological and lifestyle interventions on body weight as a secondary outcome in people with type 1 diabetes. METHODS The Ovid Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant pharmacological (glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] receptor agonist, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 [SGLT-2] inhibitor, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 [DPP-4] inhibitor and metformin) and lifestyle intervention studies (diet and exercise) for adults with type 1 diabetes reporting body weight change and HbA1c published from January 2000 to May 2020. Meta-analyses were performed for 16 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). RESULTS Thirty-three RCTs (n = 9344 participants), 26 pharmacological (on average 43.9 years, 83.1 kg, HbA1c 8.1%; 55.8% male) and seven lifestyle-based interventions (on average 37.0 years, 85.0 kg, HbA1c 8.1%; 84.6% male), were analysed. The GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide 0.6 mg (mean difference [MD]: -2.22 kg [95% CI: -2.55 to -1.90]), 1.2 mg (MD: -3.74 kg [95% CI: -4.16 to -3.33]) and 1.8 mg (MD: -4.85 kg [95% CI: -5.29 to -4.41]), and the SGLT-2 inhibitors empagliflozin 2.5 mg (MD: -1.47 kg [95% CI: -2.23 to -0.71]), 10 mg (MD: -2.77 kg [95% CI: -3.24 to -2.31]) and 25 mg (MD: -3.06 kg [95% CI: -3.57 to -2.55]) and sotagliflozin 200 mg (MD: -2.40 kg [95% CI: -2.87 to -1.94]) and 400 mg (MD: -3.23 [95% CI: -3.73 to -2.72]) were associated with significant reductions in body weight. No significant effect on body weight was found for DPP-4 inhibitors, other GLP-1-receptor agonists, metformin, or for lifestyle interventions (i.e. exercise and diet). CONCLUSIONS In people with type 1 diabetes, several adjuvant pharmacological interventions showed weight reduction as a secondary outcome. Future studies in overweight people with type 1 diabetes are needed to establish whether the lifestyle and pharmacological interventions reviewed here have potential as components of complex interventions aimed at body weight reduction as a primary outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The placebo response in patients with diabetes mellitus is very common. A systematic evaluation needs to be updated with the current evidence about the placebo response in diabetes mellitus and the associated factors in clinical trials of anti-diabetic medicine. METHODS Literature research was conducted in Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov for studies published between the date of inception and June 2019. Randomized placebo-controlled trials conducted in type 1and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM/T2DM) were included. Random-effects model and meta-regression analysis were accordingly used. This meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO as CRD42014009373. RESULTS Significantly weight elevation (effect size (ES) = 0.33 kg, 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.61 kg) was observed in patients with placebo treatments in T1DM subgroup while significantly HbA1c reduction (ES = - 0.12%, 95% CI, - 0.16 to - 0.07%) and weight reduction (ES = - 0.40 kg, 95% CI, - 0.50 to - 0.29 kg) were observed in patients with placebo treatments in T2DM subgroup. Greater HbA1c reduction was observed in patients with injectable placebo treatments (ES = - 0.22%, 95% CI, - 0.32 to - 0.11%) versus oral types (ES = - 0.09%, 95% CI, - 0.14 to - 0.04%) in T2DM (P = 0.03). Older age (β = - 0.01, 95% CI, - 0.02 to - 0.01, P < 0.01) and longer diabetes duration (β = - 0.02, 95% CI, - 0.03 to - 0.21 × 10-2, P = 0.03) was significantly associated with more HbA1c reduction by placebo in T1DM. However, younger age (β = 0.02, 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.03, P = 0.01), lower male percentage (β = 0.01, 95% CI, 0.22 × 10-2, 0.01, P < 0.01), higher baseline BMI (β = - 0.02, 95% CI, - 0.04 to - 0.26 × 10-2, P = 0.02), and higher baseline HbA1c (β = - 0.09, 95% CI, - 0.16 to - 0.01, P = 0.02) were significantly associated with more HbA1c reduction by placebo in T2DM. Shorter diabetes duration (β = 0.06, 95% CI, 0.06 to 0.10, P < 0.01) was significantly associated with more weight reduction by placebo in T2DM. However, the associations between baseline BMI, baseline HbA1c, and placebo response were insignificant after the adjusted analyses. CONCLUSION The placebo response in diabetes mellitus was systematically outlined. Age, sex, disease severity (indirectly reflected by baseline BMI and baseline HbA1c), and disease duration were associated with placebo response in diabetes mellitus. The association between baseline BMI, baseline HbA1c, and placebo response may be the result of regression to the mean.

Abstract
In spite of developments with novel insulin preparations, novel modes of insulin delivery with insulin infusion pumps, and the facility of continuous glucose monitoring, only 20% of patients with type 1 diabetes are under adequate control. The need for innovation is clear, and, therefore, the use of adjunct therapies with other pharmacological agents currently in use for type 2 diabetes, has been tried. Currently, pramlintide is the only agent licensed for use in this condition in addition to insulin. Global trials have been conducted with liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), dapagliflozin, a sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, and sotagliflozin, an inhibitor of both SGLT1 and SGLT2 transporters. While dapagliflozin and sotagliflozin have now been licensed for clinical use in this condition in Europe and Japan, they have hitherto not been licensed in the United States due to a small increase in the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis. However, these agents reduce glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) by 0.4%, reduce glycemic oscillations, and do not increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Liraglutide, on the other hand, induced a smaller reduction in HbA1c and thus was not considered for a license. However, further trials are currently being conducted with a combination of semaglutide, the most potent GLP-1RA, and dapagliflozin to determine whether this approach would yield better outcomes.

Abstract
Despite recent advancements in clinical drugs, diabetes treatment still needs further progress. As such, ongoing research has attempted to determine the precise molecular mechanisms of the disorder. Specifically, evidence supports that several signaling pathways play pivotal roles in the development of diabetes. However, the exact molecular mechanisms of diabetes still need to be explored. This study examines exciting new hallmarks for the strict involvement of autophagy and TGF-β signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of diabetes and the design of novel therapeutic strategies. Dysregulated autophagy in pancreatic β cells due to hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and inflammation is associated with diabetes and accompanied by dysregulated autophagy in insulin target tissues and the progression of diabetic complications. Consequently, several therapeutic agents such as adiponectin, ezetimibe, GABA tea, geniposide, liraglutide, guava extract, and vitamin D were shown to inhibit diabetes and its complications through modulation of the autophagy pathway. Another pathway, TGF-β signaling pathway, appears to play a part in the progression of diabetes, insulin resistance, and autoimmunity in both type 1 and 2 diabetes and complications in diabetes. Subsequently, drugs that target TGF-β signaling, especially naturally derived ones such as resveratrol, puerarin, curcumin, hesperidin, and silymarin, as well as Propolis, Lycopus lucidus, and Momordica charantia extracts, may become promising alternatives to current drugs in diabetes treatment. This review provides keen insights into novel therapeutic strategies for the medical care of diabetes.

Effect of short-acting exenatide administered three times daily on markers of cardiovascular disease in type 1 diabetes: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial. Diabetes Obes Metab 2020; 22:1639-1647. [PMID: 32543021 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2020] [Revised: 04/21/2020] [Accepted: 04/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effect of adding the short-acting glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) exenatide to insulin treatment on markers of cardiovascular risk in type 1 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial, 108 individuals with type 1 diabetes aged ≥18 years on multiple daily injection therapy with a body mass index >22.0 kg/m2 and glycated haemoglobin concentration of 59 to 88 mmol/mol (7.5%-10.0%) were randomized (1:1) to preprandial subcutaneous injection of 10 μg exenatide (Byetta®) or placebo three times daily over 26 weeks as add-on treatment to existing insulin therapy. Reported markers of cardiovascular risk were secondary endpoints and were analyzed in a baseline-adjusted linear mixed model in the intention-to-treat population. The primary results of this study, the MAG1C (Meal-time Administration of exenatide for Glycaemic control in type 1 diabetes Cases) trial, were previously reported. RESULTS Exenatide changed total fat mass by -2.6 kg (95% confidence interval [CI] -3.6; -1.6; P < 0.0001) and lean body mass by -1.1 kg (95% CI -1.9; -0.4; P = 0.01) compared with placebo, as assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Fat mass reductions were similar for central and peripheral fat mass. Exenatide did not change levels of interleukin-2 or -6; tumour necrosis factor-α; C-reactive protein; N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide; or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (RNA oxidation marker) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (DNA oxidation marker). CONCLUSIONS Exenatide added to insulin therapy in type 1 diabetes for 26 weeks resulted in body weight loss primarily from fat mass reduction, but had no effect on biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, such as liraglutide, reduce hyperglycaemia and induce weight loss and are used as a treatment in diabetes. However, common adverse effects include nausea, loss of appetite and prolonged gastric emptying. It is not known whether these changes are centrally generated or if liraglutide alters the enteric motility. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of liraglutide on gastrointestinal function and symptoms. METHODS A total of 48 adults with type 1 diabetes and confirmed distal symmetric polyneuropathy were randomised to receive liraglutide 1.8 mg/day or placebo for 26 weeks. Regional transit times and motility indexes were assessed with a wireless motility capsule, whereas symptoms were evaluated using the validated gastroparesis cardinal symptom index. RESULTS Liraglutide treatment reduced large bowel transit time (31.7%, p = 0.04) and decreased motility index (6.1%, p = 0.04) compared to placebo, whereas the groups did not differ in gastric emptying or small-bowel transit times. Liraglutide increased postprandial fullness with 29% (p = 0.01). Increased small bowel transit time was associated with decreased bloating (p = 0.008). CONCLUSION Liraglutide accelerates large bowel transit and decreases motility index, which may indicate better coordination of propulsive motility. This potentially improves the function of the enteric nervous system, leading to normalised colonic function and positive effects in type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the efficacy of adding the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist liraglutide to continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in overweight or obese persons with type 1 diabetes and non-optimal glycaemic control. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 26-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial including 44 overweight or obese adults with type 1 diabetes randomized 1:1 to liraglutide 1.8 mg once daily (QD) or placebo added to CSII treatment. The primary endpoint was change in haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Secondary endpoints included change in insulin dose, CSII settings, glycaemic variability, body weight and patient-reported outcome measures. Finally, adverse effects including hypoglycaemic events were registered. RESULTS HbA1c was reduced by 5 mmol/mol (0.5%) from a baseline of 66 mmol/mol (8.2%) in patients treated with liraglutide compared with a non-significant change of +2.3 mmol/mol (0.2%) from a baseline of 66 mmol/mol (8.1%) in patients treated with placebo (between-group difference 7 mmol/mol [0.7%], P < 0.001). Liraglutide reduced total insulin dose by 8 units/day or 16% of total insulin dose (P = 0.008). Mean body weight was reduced by 6.3 kg (P < 0.001) compared with placebo. Concomitantly, time spent in glycaemic target range 4-10 mmol/L (71-180 mg/dL) increased while the risk of hypoglycaemia did not differ between groups at the end of treatment. CONCLUSION Liraglutide treatment reduced HbA1c, total daily insulin dose and body weight without increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia in CSII-treated patients with type 1 diabetes and insufficient glycaemic control. Liraglutide may be considered a potential add-on therapy to insulin in this subgroup of patients.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease caused by the immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells that results in lifelong absolute insulin deficiency. For nearly a century, insulin replacement has been the only therapy for most people living with this disease. Recent advances in technology and our understanding of β cell development, glucose metabolism, and the underlying immune pathogenesis of the disease have led to innovative therapeutic and preventative approaches. A paradigm shift in immunotherapy development toward the targeting of islet-specific immune pathways involved in tolerance has driven the development of therapies that may allow for the prevention or reversal of this disease while avoiding toxicities associated with historical approaches that were broadly immunosuppressive. In this review, we discuss successes, failures, and emerging pharmacological therapies for type 1 diabetes that are changing how we approach this disease, from improving glycemic control to developing the "holy grail" of disease prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A few Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) have evaluated the use of liraglutide in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Through the present systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim at critically appraising and summarizing those RCTs, providing precise effect estimates. METHODS We searched major databases and grey literature from their inception to October 2018, for RCTs with a duration ≥ 12 weeks, comparing liraglutide with placebo or any other comparator as adjunct to insulin in patients with T1D, investigating major efficacy and safety endpoints. This review is reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. RESULTS We included 5 trials with 2,445 randomized participants. Liraglutide provided modest reductions in HbA1c, with liraglutide 1.8 mg producing the greatest decrease (MD = -0.24%, 95% CI -0.32 to -0.16, I2=0%). Significant weight reduction, up to 4.87 kg with liraglutide 1.8 mg was also observed (95% CI -5.31 to -4.43, I2=0%). Decrease in total daily insulin dose, primarily driven by a decrease in bolus insulin requirements, was demonstrated. Liraglutide decreased non-significantly the odds for severe hypoglycemia (OR=0.80, 95% CI 0.57-1.14, I2=0%), while it increased significantly the odds for gastrointestinal adverse events (for nausea, OR=4.70, 95% CI 3.68-6.00, I2=37%, and for vomiting, OR=2.50, 95% CI 1.54-4.72, I2=27%). A significant increase in heart rate was also demonstrated. No association with diabetic ketoacidosis or malignancies was identified. CONCLUSION In patients with T1D, liraglutide might prove be an adjunct to insulin, improving glycemic control, inducing body weight loss and decreasing exogenous insulin requirements and severe hypoglycemia.

Abstract
Many patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) do not achieve the glycemic target goal with insulin treatment. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of add-on to insulin therapy in patients with T1D. We conducted direct and indirect network meta-analyses using Bayesian models and ranked hypoglycemic agents via mixed treatment comparison, using data from the CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Science Citation Index Expanded databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving patients with T1D treated with insulin and add-on metformin or sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists from January 1970 to September 2019 were included in this study. Twenty-three RCTs with 5,151 subjects were divided into the following groups: insulin alone, insulin+metformin, insulin+canagliflozin, insulin+dapagliflozin, insulin+empagliflozin, insulin+sotagliflozin, insulin+liraglutide, and insulin+exenatide. HbA1c level in the insulin+sotagliflozin group was significantly lower than that in the insulin alone group (mean difference: -0.43, 95% credible interval: -0.62 to -0.23). Total daily insulin dose in the insulin+sotagliflozin group was significantly lower than that in the insulin alone group. Compared with that in the insulin alone group, body weight in the groups treated with insulin+add-on canagliflozin, sotagliflozin, and exenatide was significantly decreased by 4.5, 2.8, and 5.1 kg, respectively. Hypoglycemic episodes did not differ among the groups. In patients with T1D, insulin+sotagliflozin decreased the HbA1c level, daily insulin dose, and body weight without hypoglycemia compared with insulin monotherapy. Insulin+canagliflozin or insulin+exenatide was effective in reducing body weight compared with insulin alone. In conclusion, sotagliflozin treatment decreased not only the HbA1c levels and insulin dose but also the body weight without causing hypoglycemia in patients with T1D. Treatment with canagliflozin and exenatide effectively reduced body weight in patients with T1D. However, ketoacidosis associated with the use of SGLT inhibitors should be considered in these patients. Thus, our results suggest that sotagliflozin has a high probability of being ranked first as an adjunctive therapy to insulin in patients with T1D.

Abstract
PURPOSE The role of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), including efficacy and safety evidence, is reviewed. SUMMARY Currently approved treatment options for glycemic control in T1DM include insulin, which combats insulin deficiency but does not effectively target disease progression or alpha cell dysfunction; and pramlintide, whose use requires multiple daily doses and involves a high likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects. GLP-1 RAs have a unique mechanism of action in T1DM, addressing alpha cell dysfunction and thereby suppressing inappropriate glucagon secretion. GLP-1 RA dosing varies from once weekly to twice daily, and the class is well tolerated in patients with type 2 diabetes. Among the GLP-1 RAs, exenatide and liraglutide have been studied in patients with T1DM, with published evidence consistently demonstrating weight loss, decreases in total daily insulin requirements, and modest improvements in glycemic control. GLP-1 RA therapy appears to be well tolerated in patients with T1DM and is associated with nonsignificant increases in hypoglycemia risk. CONCLUSION GLP-1 RA therapy represents an important add-on therapy option for achieving decreased insulin doses, weight loss, and modest improvements in HbA1c levels without significantly increasing hypoglycemia risk in patients with T1DM. Patients who have detectable C-peptide and/or are overweight or cannot achieve glycemic goals without hypoglycemia have been found to benefit the most from GLP-1 RA therapy. Further studies are warranted to evaluate these agents' potential impact on clinical outcomes such as microvascular and macrovascular complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The expanding variety of insulins, including biosynthetic human insulin and rapid and long-acting insulin analogs, have dramatically transformed the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) over the past 25 years. Moreover, increasing interest in the use of novel drugs developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) as adjunctive therapies for T1D remains a work in progress. Areas Covered: We reviewed articles published up to December 2018 in PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov for recent developments in the pharmacologic treatment of T1D, including inhaled insulin, ultrafast and ultralong-acting insulins and adjunctive therapies including pramlintide, metformin, GLP-1 receptor agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2, and SGLT1/2 inhibitors. Expert Opinion: With the creation of ultrafast-acting insulin analogs and very prolonged duration of action of basal insulins, it is possible to more closely mimic physiologic insulin secretion. Adjunctive therapies, likewise, may also overcome some of the abnormal physiology that is a hallmark of T1D. Therefore, individualized consideration of the efficacy of these agents must be measured alongside the potential adverse effects when choosing an adjunctive therapy.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing β cells located in the endocrine pancreas in areas known as islets of Langerhans. The current standard-of-care for T1D is exogenous insulin replacement therapy. Recent developments in this field include the hybrid closed-loop system for regulated insulin delivery and long-acting insulins. Clinical studies on prediction and prevention of diabetes-associated complications have demonstrated the importance of early treatment and glucose control for reducing the risk of developing diabetic complications. Transplantation of primary islets offers an effective approach for treating patients with T1D. However, this strategy is hampered by challenges such as the limited availability of islets, extensive death of islet cells, and poor vascular engraftment of islets post-transplantation. Accordingly, there are considerable efforts currently underway for enhancing islet transplantation efficiency by harnessing the beneficial actions of stem cells. This review will provide an overview of currently available therapeutic options for T1D, and discuss the growing evidence that supports the use of stem cell approaches to enhance therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
We aimed to test the hypothesis that addition of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) to insulin in C-peptide-positive patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) will result in a reduction in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) with reduced insulin requirements and a rise in C-peptide concentrations. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 11 normal-weight patients with T1D consecutively treated with a GLP-1RA in addition to insulin. Paired t tests were used to compare the changes in HbA1c, insulin doses, body weight, body mass index, and C-peptide concentrations prior to and 12 ± 1 weeks after GLP-1RA therapy. At the end of 12 ± 1 weeks of GLP-1RA therapy, HbA1c fell from 10.74 ± 0.96% (95 ± 10.5 mmol/mol) to 7.4 ± 0.58% (58 ± 6.3mmol/mol) (P < 0.01), body weight fell from 71 ± 2.0 to 69 ± 2 kg (P = 0.06), and total insulin dose was reduced by 64% from 33 ± 6 to 11 ± 5 units (P < 0.01). Five out of 10 patients did not require any insulin. C-peptide concentrations increased significantly from 0.43 ± 0.09 ng/ml (0.14 ± 0.02 nmol/L) to 1.42 ± 0.42ng/ml (0.47 ± 0.13 nmol/L) (P = 0.01). Addition of GLP-1RA therapy to insulin in normal-weight patients with T1D led to a reduction in HbA1c with reduced insulin requirements, a 3.5-fold increase in C-peptide concentrations and freedom from insulin therapy in 50% of patients who tolerated the GLP-1RA therapy over a period of 12 ± 1 weeks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Combined treatment with an incretin-based drug, such as a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) or a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, and basal insulin is a new strategy for improving glucose control in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We performed a meta-analysis to assess the effect of this combined treatment on glycaemic control, insulin dose, severe hypoglycaemia, weight gain and gastrointestinal side effects in T1DM patients. METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library for relevant studies published before July 16, 2018. The primary outcome was glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c). Secondary outcomes included total daily insulin dose, body weight, severe hypoglycaemia and gastrointestinal side effects. RESULTS Nine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 2389 patients were ultimately included in the meta-analysis. The pooled data suggested that incretin-based therapy was associated with a reduction in HbA1c levels (weighted mean difference (WMD) -0.17%, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.24 to -0.11, P < 0.001), total daily insulin dose (WMD -5.53 IU/day, 95% CI -8.89 to -2.17, P = 0.001) and body weight (WMD -3.24 kg, 95% CI -4.43 to -2.04, P < 0.001). Incretins did not increase the risk of severe hypoglycaemia (odds ratio (OR) 0.83, 95% CI 0.60-1.16, P = 0.287) but increased the occurrence of gastrointestinal side effects (OR 3.46, 95% CI 2.20-5.45, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In T1DM patients, GLP-1 RAs, but not DPP-4 inhibitors, combined with insulin appear to be an effective therapy but may increase the occurrence of gastrointestinal side effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several clinical trials have studied the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on glycometabolism and cardiovascular risk factors since they were identified. Because of their cardiovascular benefits and efficacy in lowering glucose, GLP-1RAs are becoming increasingly important in clinical therapy for patients with or without pathoglycaemia. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the GLP-1RA liraglutide on blood pressure based on randomised controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS We searched PubMed for RCTs published from 2009 to 2018 comparing the effect of liraglutide on blood pressure with that of placebo in individuals with or without pathoglycaemia. RCTs in humans that included data describing blood pressure changes from baseline to the end of the trial were selected for inclusion in the meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 18 RCTs that enrolled 7616 individuals in the liraglutide group and 6046 individuals in the control group were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with placebo, liraglutide reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP) by 3.18 mmHg (95% CI -4.32, - 2.05), P < 0.00001, but had no significant effect on diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Subgroup analysis showed that the degree of reduction in SBP was associated with the dose of liraglutide but that significance disappeared when the intervention lasted over 1 year. Liraglutide 3.0 mg/d significantly reduced DBP by 1.46 mmHg (95% CI -2.61, 0.32), P = 0.01, but liraglutide 1.8 mg/d slightly increased DBP by 0.47 mmHg (95% CI 0.11, 0.83), P = 0.01, compared with placebo. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis demonstrated that liraglutide significantly reduced SBP in individuals with or without pathoglycaemia compared with placebo, but the difference was no longer significant when the intervention lasted over 1 year. Moreover, the effect of liraglutide on blood pressure is associated with the dose. This finding may provide additional evidence for cardiovascular protection.

Abstract
Despite advances in insulin therapies, patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) have a shorter life span due to hyperglycaemia-induced vascular disease and hypoglycaemic complications secondary to insulin therapy. Restricting therapy for T1DM to insulin replacement is perhaps an over-simplistic approach, and we focus in this work on reviewing the role of adjuvant therapy in this population. Current data suggest that adding metformin to insulin therapy in T1DM temporarily lowers HbA1c and reduces weight and insulin requirements, but this treatment fails to show a longer-term glycaemic benefit. Agents in the sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2) class demonstrate the greatest promise in correcting hyperglycaemia, but there are safety concerns in relation to the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis. Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1) show a modest effect on glycaemia, if any, but significantly reduce weight, which may make them suitable for use in overweight T1DM patients. Treatment with pramlintide is not widely available worldwide, although there is evidence to indicate that this agent reduces both HbA1c and weight in T1DM. A criticism of adjuvant studies is the heavy reliance on HbA1c as the primary endpoint while generally ignoring other glycaemic parameters. Moreover, vascular risk markers and measures of insulin resistance-important considerations in individuals with a longer T1DM duration-are yet to be fully investigated following adjuvant therapies. Finally, studies to date have made the assumption that T1DM patients are a homogeneous group of individuals who respond similarly to adjuvant therapies, which is unlikely to be the case. Future longer-term adjuvant studies investigating different glycaemic parameters, surrogate vascular markers and harder clinical outcomes will refine our understanding of the roles of such therapies in various subgroups of T1DM patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced by the gut, stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cells, and inhibits glucagon secretion from the α-cells. The GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). AREAS COVERED This review covers the clinical trials of the GLP-1R agonists (exenatide and liraglutide) and their potential as adjunct treatment in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). EXPERT OPINION GLP-1R agonists are unable to increase insulin secretion, in subjects with T1DM, who are C-peptide negative. Also, the GLP-1R agonists either have no effect or cause a small inhibition of glucagon secretion in subjects with T1DM. There is no evidence that the GLP-1R agonists cause a major reduction in HbA1c, or have a major effect on hypo- or hyperglycemia in subjects with TD1M. The main beneficial effect of the GLP-1R agonists is probably the modest weight loss, which may underlie the reduction in dose of insulin used. Given that the GLP-1R agonists cause gastrointestinal adverse effects, and with reduced insulin doses, increase the risk of ketosis, it seems to me that the risk with these agents may outweigh any benefit in T1DM, and that they have little potential as adjuncts in the treatment of T1DM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite intensified insulin treatment, many persons with type 1 diabetes (T1D) do not achieve glycemic and metabolic targets. Consequently, non-insulin chemical therapies that improve glycemic control and metabolic parameters without increasing the risk of adverse events (including hypoglycemia) are of interest as adjunct therapies to insulin. AREAS COVERED In this review, the authors discuss the efficacy and safety of non-insulin therapies, including pramlintide, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4), sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT1 and SGLT2) inhibitors, metformin, sulfonylureas, and thiazolidinediones as add-on therapies to insulin in T1D. EXPERT OPINION The current evidence shows that the efficacy of non-insulin therapies as add-on therapies to insulin is minimal or modest with an average HbA1c reduction of 0.2-0.5% (2-6 mmol/mol). Indeed, the current focus is on the development of SGLT inhibitors as adjuncts to insulin in type 1 diabetes. Studies of subgroups with obesity, residual beta-cell function (including newly diagnosed patients) and patients prone to hypoglycemia could be areas of future research.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Insulin therapy alone fails to achieve target glycemic control in the majority of individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D), motivating the investigation of additive medications. This review focuses on the recent findings on the use of adjunctive pharmacotherapy in T1D. RECENT FINDINGS Metformin and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists have been associated with weight reduction and decrease in daily insulin requirements without sustainable improvement in glycemic control. Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT)-2 inhibitors, dual SGLT-1/2 inhibitors, and pramlintide have been shown to reduce hemoglobin A1c, induce weight loss, and lower insulin dose. The benefits of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, and alpha glucosidase inhibitors appear to be more limited. Gastrointestinal symptoms and increased hypoglycemia are adverse effects of certain classes. Although not devoid of side effects, additive pharmacotherapies in T1D can improve glycemic control and lower body weight and insulin requirement. Longer studies are needed before consideration for widespread clinical care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Persons with type 1 diabetes require intensive insulin therapy to achieve glycaemic control, but side effects, including hypoglycaemia and weight gain, may reduce treatment compliance. We hypothesise that add-on treatment of the short-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, exenatide, to insulin therapy in persons with type 1 diabetes will reduce insulin requirements, glycaemic excursions and body weight and improve glycaemic control without increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia. The present article describes a protocol developed to test this hypothesis. METHODS AND ANALYSIS One-hundred adult persons with type 1 diabetes for more than 1 year, insufficient glycaemic control (glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) between 58 and 86 mmol/mol) and body mass index >22.0 kg/m2 will be randomised to either exenatide 10 µg three times per day (at meal times) or placebo as add-on therapy to regular basal-bolus insulin treatment for 26 weeks. Primary endpoint is change in HbA1c between the two groups at end of treatment. Secondary endpoints include change in glycaemic excursions (assessed by continuous glucose monitoring); insulin dose; hypoglycaemic and adverse events; body weight, lean body and fat mass; dietary patterns; quality of life and treatment satisfaction; cardiovascular-disease risk profile; metabolomics; and arginine-tested plasma glucose, glucagon and C-peptide levels. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study is approved by the Danish Medicines Agency, the Regional Scientific Ethics Committee of the Capital Region of Denmark and the Data Protection Agency. The study will be carried out under the surveillance and guidance of the good clinical practice (GCP) unit at Copenhagen University Hospital Bispebjerg in accordance with the ICH-GCP guidelines and the Helsinki Declaration. Positive, negative as well as inconclusive results will be sought disseminated at scientific meetings and in international peer-reviewed scientific journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03017352.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is a clear unmet clinical need in people with Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) considering present day insulin therapy. New insulin analogues and novel technologies allowing more tailored insulin administration have improved the quality of life of people with T1DM, but issues like hypoglycemia, weight gain and variability in glucose profiles remain problematic. Areas covered: In this review, the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitor, in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is described based on a review of phase 2 and 3 studies to date. Expert opinion: Dapagliflozin has shown promising results as an adjunct therapy in T1DM, resulting in better glucose control, weight loss and lower blood pressure. No increase in hypoglycemia risk, in particular severe hypoglycemia, was observed, but, in comparison with reports in Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), genital infections were more prevalent. Dapagliflozin use was accompanied with decreases in insulin doses, but, to date, only a low risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was reported. However, caution is needed when interpreting this data, arising from well controlled clinical trials, with intensive education programs around ketone measurements and DKA prevention. Further studies will need to establish how high the DKA risk is and how to mitigate this in a real-world setting.

Abstract
Diabetic cognitive dysfunction has gained widespread attention for its deleterious impact on individuals with diabetes. However, few clinical interventions are available to prevent the disorder. The glucagon-like peptide-1 analog liraglutide exerts neuroprotective effects in several models of neurodegenerative diseases. We investigated the effect of liraglutide pretreatment on diabetes-induced cognitive decline and explored the underlying mechanisms in vivo and in vitro. Liraglutide pretreatment prevented diabetes-induced cognitive impairment as assessed by the Morris Water Maze test, and alleviated neuronal injuries and ultrastructural damage to synapses in the hippocampal CA1 region. Furthermore, liraglutide promoted autophagy as indicated by enhanced expression of the autophagy markers Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)-II and Beclin 1, decreased expression of p62, and increased formation of autophagic vacuoles and LC3-II aggregates. In vitro, liraglutide treatment elevated phosphorylated (p)-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) levels and reduced p-mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR) expression. Additionally, the AMPK inhibitor Compound C exhibited an inhibitory effect on liraglutide-induced increased LC3-II expression and p62 degradation. Liraglutide exhibits neuroprotective effects against diabetes-induced hippocampal neuronal injuries and cognitive impairment by promoting autophagy via the AMPK/mTOR pathway.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by relative or absolute insulin deficiency. Despite treatment with insulin therapy, glycemic goals are not always met, and insulin therapy is sometimes limited by adverse effects, including hypoglycemia and weight gain. Several adjunctive therapies have been evaluated in combination with insulin in patients with T1DM to improve glycemic control while minimizing adverse effects. Pramlintide, an amylin analog, can improve glycemic control, primarily through lowering postprandial blood glucose levels. Patients may experience weight loss and an increased risk of hypoglycemia and require additional mealtime injections. Metformin provides an inexpensive, oral treatment option and may reduce blood glucose, especially in overweight or obese patients with minimal risk of hypoglycemia. Metformin may be more effective in patients with impaired insulin sensitivity. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists reduce primarily postprandial blood glucose and insulin dose and promote weight loss. They are expensive, cause transient nausea, may increase risk of hypoglycemia and require additional injections. Sodium-glucose transport-2 inhibitors improve glycemic control, promote weight loss and have low risk of hypoglycemia with appropriate insulin adjustment; however, these agents may increase the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis in patients with T1DM. Patient-specific characteristics should be considered when selecting adjunctive therapy for patients with T1DM. Close monitoring, insulin dose adjustments and patient education are all important to ensure safe and effective use of these agents.
