We're bringing you exclusive coverage from the American Diabetes Association’s 2026 conference in New Orleans! Day 2 was packed with more incredible research advancing the field of diabetes care.
💡 Though still very early in the research phase, data indicate that SAB-142 can be administered multiple times over a person’s lifetime, suggesting that it could potentially delay type 1 diabetes progression indefinitely. The company is now recruiting children and adults who have recently been diagnosed with stage 3 type 1 diabetes for a larger clinical trial to test the effectiveness of the drug in delaying disease progression and preserving insulin production.
💡 A new ultra-long-lasting GLP-1 option is berobenatide, which has a slightly modified structure that allows it to stay active in the body longer than currently available options. In an early research trial, 133 people with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes took a placebo or one of four doses of berbobenatide every week for seven months.
At the highest dose, participants lost an average of 15% of their body weight and lowered their A1C by 2.2%.
