Semaglutide Boosts Glycemic Control and Reduces Weight in Type 1 Diabetes Trial
Participants in the 26-week ADJUST-T1D trial experienced significant gains in target blood sugar range alongside substantial weight loss with weekly semaglutide.
Overview
- In the 26-week, double-blind ADJUST-T1D trial of 72 adults using automated insulin delivery systems, 36% of those receiving semaglutide met composite targets of blood sugar control and weight loss compared with none on placebo.
- Semaglutide recipients achieved a 0.3% greater reduction in HbA1c from baseline than placebo (95% CI, –0.6 to –0.05).
- Patients on semaglutide spent 8.8% more time within the 70–180 mg/dL glucose range versus placebo (95% CI, 3.9–13.7).
- Treatment with semaglutide led to an average weight loss of 8.8 kg more than placebo (95% CI, –10.6 to –7).
- Gastrointestinal events affected 53% of semaglutide users versus 25% on placebo, and hypoglycemia rates remained low in both groups.
