A new triple combo therapy could restore insulin production in people with type 1 using existing medications. Levicure’s triple-combo oral therapy is already considered very safe, because it involves two drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a well-known supplement.
The therapy is a combination of:
DPP4-inhibitors, a common type 2 diabetes medication
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a drug for severe acid reflux
A proprietary version of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a supplement often used to treat anxiety
Levicure says the combined effect can block beta cell destruction, suppress autoimmunity, and restore beta cell function.
So far, Levicure’s triple therapy has gone through only one retrospective chart review; it has not been put to the test in a randomized controlled trial

An international team of experts has created the world's first evidence-based guide for eating lower and low carb. The group says until now, people with type 1 diabetes and their healthcare providers have lacked comprehensive resources to help implement this approach safely and effectively.
The guide provides essential information for dietitians and nutritionists and empowers them to work collaboratively with individuals and families who are interested in reducing carbohydrates. It’s free and we’ve got the download link in the show notes.

A new pump system is available in Canada. mylife YpsoPump insulin pump and CamAPS FX hybrid closed-loop algorithm by Health Canada.
mylife Loop consists of the mylife YpsoPump, a lightweight intuitive insulin pump, integrated with the CamAPS FX hybrid closed-loop, a mobile phone-based algorithm, and the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. Working together, these components provide an innovative, automated insulin delivery (AID) system designed to simplify insulin therapy and improve glycemic control for Canadians living with diabetes.
"The approval of the mylife YpsoPump and CamAPS FX marks an important milestone as we bring these advanced technologies to the Canadian market," said Sébastien Delarive, Chief Business Officer of Ypsomed Diabetes Care. "Although Ypsomed is relatively new in Canada, our established leadership in diabetes care throughout Europe provides a solid foundation for delivering innovative solutions to Canadians living with type 1 diabetes."
"We are excited to see both mylife YpsoPump and CamAPS FX approved," said Karina Schneider, General Manager at Ypsomed Canada. "This step brings us closer to offering an integrated solution that will help simplify diabetes management for Canadian patients, empowering them to take more control of their health."

The FDA updates the labels for all GLP-1 receptor agonists with a warning about pulmonary aspiration during general anesthesia or deep sedation. The affected drugs are semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy); liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza); and the dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound).
the Medication Guide section of the label also has new additions. Patients are counseled to tell their healthcare provider if they are scheduled to have surgery or other procedures that use anesthesia or deep sleepiness (deep sedation).
They are alerted that the GLP-1 RAs they are taking may cause serious side effects, including food or liquid getting into the lungs during surgery or other procedures that use anesthesia or deep sedation.
Patients are advised to tell all their healthcare providers that they are taking a GLP-1 RA before they are scheduled to have surgery or other procedures.

Following an impressive data drop this summer highlighting the potential for Eli Lilly’s tirzepatide to stave off progression to Type 2 diabetes in prediabetic patients, the Indianapolis-based drugmaker is laying out full results from its longest completed study of the dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist to date.
In the three-year SURMOUNT-1 trial, tirzepatide curbed the risk of disease progression to Type 2 diabetes by 94% versus placebo in adult prediabetes patients who were obese or overweight, Lilly said in a release Wednesday. The number represents a pooled result from three tirzepatide doses (5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg) studied in the trial.
Putting those results into perspective, one new case of diabetes could be prevented for every nine patients treated with tirzepatide, which is marketed in the U.S. as Mounjaro for Type 2 diabetes and as Zepbound for obesity, Lilly said.

And finally, many of you have likely already heard but we had some incredibly tragic news in the diabetes community, especially for the Breakthrough T1D ride community. I’m going to read from the Breakthrough T1D website:
The leadership, staff, and volunteers of Breakthrough T1D mourn the tragic, sudden loss of five T1D Champions on Friday, Nov. 1, 2024.
Jeff and Michelle Bauer, Josh and Tammy Stahl and Barry Sievers were all killed in a singe car crash.
The group included two married couples and one single individual—all very close friends and veteran Breakthrough T1D Ride participants.
Of this incredibly impactful group, I knew Michelle Bauer personally, I met her as Michelle Alswager – you may know her as Jesse’s mom. Her son, Jesse died from complications of type 1 in 2010. And that year, mile 23 on the JDRF ride was created as a mile of silence in memory of Jesse. Now all riders are asked to ride in silence for that mile not only in memory of Jesse, but all those lost to type 1 diabetes.
Michelle wrote her book, Jesse Was Here and created a program that’s part of Beyond Type 1 to this day, all to help other families going through grief. She called me a few years ago when she was thinking of writing her book and I’m so grateful for our conversations and that our conversations may have helped her get it out there into a world where it’s so needed. But we need Michelle here to talk about grief.
More about talking to Michelle about the book).
Please, write the book, ride the bike, do the ironman, follow your heart and your dreams. All of these incredible people gone too soon.
Thanks for joining me..
