GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have become among the most prescribed drug classes in modern endocrinology, reshaping the management of 

 through benefits extending beyond glycemic control, including cardiovascular risk reduction, renal protection, and weight loss.

 has remained largely uncharted. Despite the growing prevalence of obesity in the type 1 population, estimated at approximately 37% in recent data, GLP-1 RAs currently do not carry a US Food and Drug Administration approval for this indication, and type 1 diabetes was excluded from the pivotal trials underpinning their commercial approval.

GLP-1 receptor agonist use was not associated with increased rates of DKA or pancreatitis in adults with type 1 diabetes in this real-world, single-center cohort.

0 DKA or pancreatitis admissions were recorded among 255 type 1 diabetes patients on GLP-1 RA therapy over a 1-year period, compared to rates of 0.39% and 0.55%, respectively, in non-users.

GLP-1 RA users had a significantly lower overall hospital admission rate than non-users (7.45% vs. 13.11%; 

= .01), consistent with hospitalization reductions seen in type 2 diabetes outcome trials.

Chief among the concerns limiting off-label use has been the potential risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). In patients with type 1 diabetes, a population who depends entirely on exogenous insulin, there are concerns regarding the appetite-suppressing and gastric-slowing effects of GLP-1 RAs potentially prompting inappropriate reductions in insulin dosing and precipitating ketoacidosis. Pancreatitis has also been raised as a safety signal across the GLP-1 RA class.

However, without dedicated trial data in this population, clinicians prescribing these agents off-label have had little real-world evidence to guide risk counseling. New data presented at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) Annual Meeting 2026 begin to address that gap.

Justin Do, DO, an endocrinology fellow at Loma Linda University Medical Center, presented findings from a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of 7377 adults with type 1 diabetes seen at a single academic center between July 2024 and July 2025. The primary outcome was hospital admission for DKA or pancreatitis based on ICD-10 coding.

Of the included patients, 255 were on a GLP-1 RA, either semaglutide (n = 167), tirzepatide (n = 60), dulaglutide (n = 19), or liraglutide (n = 9). Patients in the GLP-1 RA group were older on average (mean age 45 vs 37 years), had higher mean BMI (33.4 vs 26.6 kg/m²), and were predominantly female (65.2%).

Among GLP-1 RA users, there were 0 admissions for either DKA or pancreatitis during the study period. In the non-GLP-1 group, DKA admission rates were 0.39% and pancreatitis admissions were 0.55%, although investigators noted neither difference reached statistical significance (

= .64, respectively). Overall hospital admission rate was investigated as an exploratory finding of potential clinical relevance, which was significantly lower in GLP-1 RA users compared to non-users (7.45% vs 13.11%l χ²=6.52; 

However, investigators acknowledged meaningful limitations, including the retrospective, single-center design limiting generalizability and the relatively small GLP-1 RA cohort potentially being underpowered to detect rare events. Additionally, dosing and duration of GLP-1 RA therapy were not captured, and the study relied on ICD-10 coding rather than chart-confirmed diagnoses. Selection bias is also a concern, as patients prescribed GLP-1 RAs off-label may represent a more closely monitored or metabolically managed subset of the type 1 population.

“GLP-1 RA therapy may offer meaningful clinical benefit in adults with type 1 diabetes,” Do and colleagues wrote. “However, further studies are warranted in this population.”

GLP-1 receptor agonists have transformed type 2 diabetes care, yet their use in type 1 diabetes remains off-label amid concerns for DKA and pancreatitis, particularly if insulin is inappropriately reduced. A retrospective single-center analysis of 7377 adults with type 1 diabetes identified 255 GLP-1 RA users, predominantly semaglutide or tirzepatide, who were older with higher BMI. No DKA or pancreatitis admissions occurred among GLP-1 RA users, and overall hospitalization was lower versus non-users, despite important methodological limitations.

New real world data suggest GLP-1 RAs do not drive DKA or pancreatitis risk in adult patients with type 1 diabetes and may reduce hospital admissions.

GLP-1 RAs Do Not Raise Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Pancreatitis Risk in Type 1 Diabetes

Beyond Insulin: GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Type 1 Diabetes

 has centered almost exclusively on insulin delivery. Even as automated insulin delivery (AID) technology has advanced, a substantial proportion of patients fail to achieve time in range > 70%, driven in part by rising rates of 

, which increase insulin resistance and total daily insulin requirements. Insulin alone also does not address 

, which in T1D is 6 to 8 times greater than in people without diabetes.

These limitations have fueled interest in adjunctive pharmacotherapy, particularly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). Accumulating data from observational studies and randomized controlled trials point to clinically meaningful improvements in HbA1c, time in range, and weight in T1D patients, without a demonstrated increase in severe hypoglycemia risk. Regulatory trials are now underway, raising the prospect of a formal T1D indication.

At the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) 2026 Annual Meeting, Viral Shah, MD, a professor of medicine in the division of endocrinology & metabolism and director of Diabetes Clinical Research at the IU Center for Diabetes and Metabolic diseases at Indiana University, led a session on this topic, drawing on data from the ADJUST-T1D trial, which evaluated semaglutide in people with T1D, alongside other observational and controlled studies.

Across these data sources, HbA1c reductions ranged from approximately 0.4% to 1.0%, translating to time in range improvements of roughly 5% to 10% depending on baseline glycemic status. Weight loss outcomes appeared comparable to those observed in type 2 trials, though Shah noted that head-to-head comparisons have not been conducted.

He emphasized that the clinical benefit of GLP-1 RAs in T1D is inseparable from appropriate insulin titration. Initiating semaglutide at 0.25 mg or tirzepatide at 2.5 mg typically necessitates a 20% to 30% insulin reduction, but the appropriate degree of down-titration depends on baseline HbA1c and time in range.

Patients with an HbA1c of 8.5% to 9% may not require immediate insulin reduction, as the GLP-1 RA effect is needed to bring glycemia down. Conversely, patients already near target require proactive down-titration to avoid hypoglycemia. Shah recommended follow-up within 1 to 2 weeks of initiation and monthly thereafter to monitor and adjust.

Regarding safety, available data have not shown an increased rate of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) with GLP-1 RAs in T1D, though Shah noted that longer-duration trials will be needed to definitively characterize this risk. Gastrointestinal tolerability generally mirrors what is seen in type 2 populations, with one important distinction: patients with T1D appear to tolerate lower maximum doses, and clinicians should calibrate titration accordingly using established GI mitigation strategies.

Shah closed with a direct challenge to industry stakeholders, arguing that obesity in T1D deserves the same clinical priority it receives in type 2, and that the field has been too slow to generate the large-scale regulatory evidence needed to make these therapies available to T1D patients.

“Through your platform, I want to say that all industry, I want them not to ignore type 1 space and do something more so that we can utilize those drugs safely in people with type 1 diabetes as well,” Shah concluded

Reemphasizing Nutrition and Diet in Managing Chronic Endocrine Disease, With Jeffrey Mechanick, MD

Despite taking a relative backseat in practice, diet and nutrition are still critically important in preventing and forestalling chronic endocrine diseases like 

Healthy diet patterns and the omission of detrimental eating behaviors play a major part in curbing a variety of endocrine diseases. While not single-handedly influencing the progress of obesity and diabetes, this lifestyle change is still foundational in preventing or reversing prediabetes, as well as avoiding adrenal fatigue, hyperuricemia, thyroid diseases, osteoporosis, and a laundry list of other conditions.

American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) Annual Meeting 2026

 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jeffrey Mechanick, MD, medical director of the Marie-Josee and Henry R. Kravis Center for Cardiovascular Health at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital and a professor of medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, broke down the importance of having endocrinologists return to prescribing dietary interventions for patients with or at risk of chronic metabolic diseases.

“In the old models, we really viewed nutrition as diet and dietary counseling, and the role of physicians was somewhat nebulous – they played a role, but we had dieticians who would handle the dietary counseling,” Mechanick told 

 in an exclusive interview. “If you had an individual endocrine disorder, there might be a set of dietary recommendations for that particular disorder. But in the new model, nutrition is more than just diet. Nutrition is the interaction of diet, which is the environment, and metabolism, which is really your body.”

Mechanick emphasized the need for further education on nutrition, particularly the interplay between the metabolic system and the exposome. Nutrition is far from limited to diet and exercise – environmental conditions and exposures can have a substantial impact on the development of chronic diseases.

“The problem that’s plaguing not just endocrinologists, but really the whole healthcare arena right now, is that we need more education on nutrition,” Mechanick said. “Not just dietary counseling or dietetics, but the interaction of these dietetics with metabolism, and that requires some formal education and experiential learning. It requires going to meetings and having good research.”

Additionally, a growing focus on “precision nutrition”, focusing on variability between metabolic systems rather than generalizing treatment across all patients or disease states. Many chronic diseases in endocrinology are also driven by genetic and environmental factors, making lifestyle interventions difficult to generalize. To that end, Mechanick encourages clinicians to tailor their diet and nutrition suggestions to each patient.

“In order to do precision nutrition or precision medicine, you must incorporate hidden variables,” Mechanick said. “Those hidden variables are not only some residual risk in terms of biological variables, but also social determinants of health – discrimination, crime, poverty, housing, education - and structural determinants of health – the policies and politics that create these social determinants. They need to be incorporated into any precision medicine plan to prevent chronic disease and mitigate its progression.”

Are Improvements in AI Needed for Dermatology Patients? With Rory Sayres, PhD, and Yun Liu, PhD

, Rory Sayres, MD, and Yun Liu, PhD, outlined key areas for improvement in the use of artificial intelligence (AI)–powered tools within dermatology, noting the value of personalization, accuracy in predictions, and user-centered design in supporting the decision-making of patients.

A central theme of their interview was the necessity for AI systems to better guide patients on when to seek care. Sayres noted the wide spectrum of dermatologic conditions in terms of both severity and risk, making it critical for tools not only to identify possible diagnoses but also to help users determine whether specialist evaluation is warranted.

“You know, AI is probably already having some positive impact, helping people figure out how to manage things, “ Sayres said. “There are obviously other things where we know that the right path, for a great many dermatology conditions, is to see a specialist.”

He highlighted the dual challenge of optimizing care pathways, ensuring that patients who need specialist care are appropriately directed, while also reducing unnecessary visits in cases that could be managed conservatively. Improved triage, Sayres suggested, could help address both limited access to dermatology specialists and delays in care for high-risk conditions.

When discussing limitations, Liu pointed to several in how information is currently presented, noting their research’s prototype tool relied on static condition descriptions and images that did not adapt to individual cases. While these materials were dermatologist-informed and clinically accurate, they lacked contextual nuance, such as differentiating between mild and severe presentations of the same condition. Future iterations, he explained, will likely need to incorporate more dynamic, case-specific insights, such as severity assessment and tailored guidance, to better inform next-step decisions.

Both investigators emphasized that personalization will be a critical next step in the evolution of these tools. Sayres described real-world decision-making as inherently tricky, often requiring multiple concurrent concerns and individual patient factors. Moving past isolated case assessments toward more holistic, context-aware AI systems may help to improve both usability and clinical relevance.

The pair’s interview also highlighted the value of studying human factors alongside algorithmic performance. In particular, Liu described these data as representing a shift from assessing model accuracy in isolation to improving awareness of how real users interact with AI-generated information. By incorporating both a control arm and a “Wizard of Oz” arm via dermatologist-provided outputs, the trial was able to distinguish between limitations related to prediction accuracy and those tied to user interpretation or interface design.

Sayres and Liu framed their research as an early step in a more extensive trajectory. Although AI applications do show promise in improving consumer understanding of skin issues, additional refinements, especially in terms of personalization, accuracy, and decision support, may be needed before such tools can reliably guide patient care decisions in the real world.

Continuous Ketone Monitoring: The Next Breakthrough in Diabetes Care?

Continuous glucose monitoring has transformed 

 care by revealing the dynamic nature of glycemic control, but a critical piece of metabolic insight has remained largely static: ketone measurement. Traditionally assessed through intermittent blood or urine testing, ketones offer a snapshot of a process that is constantly evolving in response to changes in insulin, nutrition, and overall metabolic stress.

Continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) is an emerging technology in development that enables real-time measurement of ketone levels, often alongside glucose.

Early studies show heterogeneous relationships between glucose and ketone levels, indicating variability in human ketone regulation.

CKM development is largely focused on reducing the risk and improving detection of diabetic ketoacidosis, which remains a common acute diabetes complication.

Potential clinical applications include use in type 1 diabetes, patients using SGLT2 inhibitors, insulin pump users, and other populations at risk for ketosis.

Implementation considerations include the potential for increased data burden, underscoring the need for appropriate patient selection and education.

As interest grows in more comprehensive, real-time monitoring, continuous ketone tracking is emerging as a potential next step that could deepen understanding of metabolic regulation and improve the prevention and management of acute complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis.

At the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) Annual Meeting 2026, emerging technologies in diabetes care took center stage, with Rodolfo Galindo, MD, honing in on CKM in his session “Continuous Ketone Monitoring: Current State of Affairs and Potential Clinical Implications.”

CKM is currently in development in the US and is expected to resemble existing continuous glucose monitoring systems, potentially integrating ketone sensing into devices similar to Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre platform. 

“This is a new technology that is in development, and there are a couple of companies working on it, specifically in the US Abbott has been leading this, and based on the studies that they have published, the device is going to be very similar, or maybe incorporated into the Libre devices,” he explained.

While still under regulatory review, Galindo said early studies suggest CKM could offer real-time insights into ketone dynamics, much like CGM transformed glucose monitoring.

He emphasized that the true value of CKM lies not simply in measuring ketones continuously, but in uncovering patterns that static, point-in-time testing cannot capture. Drawing parallels to CGM, he noted that traditional approaches to metabolic monitoring rely heavily on single measurements, which fail to reflect the body’s constant physiological fluctuations. Early data from dual glucose-ketone monitoring systems reveal significant variability in how glucose and ketone levels interact, underscoring gaps in current understanding of human metabolism.

A key clinical driver behind CKM development is the persistent burden of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Despite advances in CGM, DKA remains one of the most common acute crises. Galindo suggested that continuous ketone data could shift diagnostic and management paradigms, moving beyond static thresholds to incorporate dynamic factors such as rate of change and duration of ketone elevation, enabling earlier detection and intervention and potentially reducing hospitalizations.

Beyond DKA prevention, he noted CKM may have broad applications across diverse patient populations. Individuals with 

, particularly those using SGLT2 inhibitors, could benefit from enhanced safety monitoring. Additional use cases include patients on ketogenic diets, athletes, and individuals using insulin pumps, where interruptions in insulin delivery may increase ketosis risk. Galindo also pointed to potential utility in specialized populations, such as patients with 

 or pregnant individuals, where metabolic regulation differs from typical patterns.

Despite the enthusiasm, Galindo acknowledged important challenges, chief among them being the risk of information overload. As seen with CGM adoption, not all patients benefit equally from continuous data streams, and excessive alerts could contribute to stress or “alarm fatigue.” He stressed the importance of patient selection and education to ensure CKM is implemented in a way that enhances care without adding unnecessary burden.

Looking ahead, ongoing clinical trials and regulatory decisions will determine how quickly CKM enters routine practice. International expert panels have already begun developing preliminary guidance, recognizing that clinicians will need frameworks to interpret and act on this new type of data. For now, Galindo remains optimistic, describing CKM as a powerful tool not only for improving patient outcomes, but also for advancing the broader understanding of human metabolism.
