Question of the Week | What is best action for stage 2, type 1 diabetes?

LT has just been diagnosed with stage 2, type 1 diabetes.  They have 2 positive antibodies and their blood sugars are slightly elevated.  They ask you if they are a candidate for “that therapy” that can protect their beta cells and slow progression of type 1 diabetes. 

What is the most accurate response?

  1. Unfortunately, you are not a candidate, since you already have 2 positive antibodies.
  2. Let’s talk to your provider about the possibility of starting Teplizumab therapy.
  3. With your blood sugar elevation, the best early intervention is insulin therapy.
  4. Since you are already in stage 2, the monoclonal antibody therapy won’t be effective.
