What this Trial Is About
The goal of this study is to determine how a drug class called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1Ra) affects people during an early stage of Type 1 Diabetes undergoing clinical teplizumab treatment. This study involves giving participants a liquid meal under different conditions and observing how their bodies respond, focusing on blood sugar levels, insulin effectiveness, and blood vessel function. The meal tests are followed by two post-treatment tests, one with the GLP-1Ra drug and the other with a placebo. Each test involves blood draws before and during the meal test, GLP-1Ra or placebo administration, and an ultrasound to measure blood vessel function. The goal is to see if GLP-1Ra can help manage blood sugar levels and improve cardiovascular health in this population.
