topicBeta Glucan Skin Health Randomized Trial
claimDespite major advances in insulin analogs, pumps, and continuous glucose monitoring, many individuals with T1D continue to experience substantial glycemic variability and hypoglycemia risk, supporting the need for adjunctive, physiology-based strategies beyond insulin replacement alone.

topicBeta Glucan Skin Health Randomized Trial
claimBeyond its acute insulinotropic and glucagonostatic actions, GLP-1 has been associated with beta-cell protective effects in preclinical models, including improved beta-cell survival and proliferative signaling, which has fueled interest in incretin-targeted approaches as disease modifiers rather than glucose-lowering tools alone [].
