The type 1 diabetes community is coalescing around the benefits and advantages of early screening for disease risk. To be accepted by healthcare providers, regulatory authorities and payers, screening programmes need to show that the testing variables allow accurate risk prediction and that individualised risk-informed monitoring plans are established, as well as operational feasibility, cost-effectiveness and acceptance at population level. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to contribute to solving these issues, starting with the identification and stratification of at-risk individuals.

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease leading to the destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells resulting in insulin deficiency and hyperglycaemic. Today, no approved therapy exists to halt this detrimental immunologic process. In a recent phase 2b study, intralymphatic administration of recombinant human glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 kDa (rhGAD65) adsorbed to Alhydrogel adjuvant to individuals recently diagnosed with T1D and carrying the HLA DR3-DQ2 haplotype showed promising results in preserving endogenous insulin secretion, confirming the results of a large meta-analysis of three randomised placebo-controlled trials of subcutaneous rhGAD65.

Aims: Residual beta cell function in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with lower risk of complications. Autoantigen therapy with GAD-alum (Diamyd) given in 3 intralymphatic injections with oral vitamin D has shown promising results in persons with T1D carrying the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DR3-DQ2 haplotype in the phase 2b trial DIAGNODE-2. We aimed to explore the efficacy of intralymphatic GAD-alum on blood glucose recorded by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of aluminum-formulated intralymphatic glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD-alum) therapy combined with vitamin D supplementation in preserving endogenous insulin secretion in all patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or in a genetically prespecified subgroup.

Research Design And Methods: In a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial, 109 patients aged 12-24 years (mean ± SD 16.4 ± 4.
