<\/p>\n

A revolutionary drug that delays the onset of type 1 diabetes has been approved for use in the public health system of England and Wales (NHS), marking the biggest breakthrough in treating the disease in more than a century, according to “The Guardian”.<\/p>\n

The drug, called teplizumab (trade name Tzield), does not cure type 1 diabetes but can delay its symptomatic development for up to three years.<\/p>\n

It works by ‘training’ the immune system not to attack the cells of the pancreas that produce insulin.<\/p>\n

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has approved the drug for use in adults and children over the age of 8 who are in the early, symptom-free stage of type 1 diabetes.<\/p>\n

Experts say this gives patients valuable years before they need permanent treatment with insulin.<\/p>\n

Teplizumab is administered by intravenous infusion once a day for 14 consecutive days. After the two-week course, the treatment is closed without the need for further doses.<\/p>\n

According to the charity “Diabetes UK”, the approval of this drug marks the beginning of a new era in the treatment of type 1 diabetes, as for the first time in over 100 years medicine is moving beyond insulin and targeting the underlying cause of the disease.<\/p>\n

Experts emphasize that early diagnosis is essential to benefit from this therapy, which can offer patients, especially children and adolescents, more time without the daily burden of diabetes management.<\/p>\n
