First drug to delay onset of type 1 diabetes made available on NHS

Reported byBBC Health ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

An immunotherapy drug is now available through the NHS that can delay type 1 diabetes onset by three additional years for children and adults, reducing the immediate need for insulin treatment.

What it doesn’t mean

The drug delays rather than prevents type 1 diabetes; patients will eventually require insulin management.
