What to Do IMMEDIATELY After Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis (Save Those Beta Cells)
Essential Strategies for Newly Diagnosed Patients to Maximize Remaining Insulin Production and Reduce a Risk of Diabetes Complications
In this video, you will learn about the following:
✔ Why early identification of remaining beta cell function at diagnosis is clinically significant
✔ Action steps for healthcare professionals when supporting patients in the initial phase of type 1 diabetes
✔ The impact of timely patient education and referral to type-1-experienced providers
✔ Current insights on tight glucose control and proactive technology adoption—CGMs and hybrid closed-loop systems
✔ Guidance on discussing clinical trial options with newly diagnosed patients and their families
Early in the course of type 1 diabetes, many patients still have functioning beta cells. Preserving this residual endogenous insulin production can improve glucose management and reduce the risk of future complications. In this video Drs. Edelman and Pettus outline actionable steps for healthcare professionals to consider during this initial period, including the implementation of continuous glucose monitoring, engaging patients in timely education, and facilitating referrals to providers with expertise in type 1 diabetes management. They also share current knowledge about preservation strategies and clinical trial opportunities, equipping clinicians to effectively communicate the potential value of beta cell preservation and to ensure patients receive coordinated, well-rounded care from the beginning.
