Researchers have found a combination of three medications, dapagliflozin, liraglutide and insulin, to prove beneficial for people with type-1-diabetes in improving the status of their blood sugar control and lose weight.
The study findings are important, said study senior researcher Paresh Dandona from the University at Buffalo, because majority of type-1-diabetes patients do not have controlled and monitored blood glucose levels.
But the triple therapy has provided impressive results by improving blood glucose control and also led to weight loss. In the study, 30 people having type-1-diabetes took part and they were already taking liraglutide and insulin. Out of them, 20 participants were randomly assigned to have 10 milligrams of dapaglifozin daily for 12 weeks and others received a placebo for the same period.

No, sorry, I don't see this. Sounds to me like they are trying to replace proper education with pills - maybe 'the majority of Type 1s' with poorly-controlled levels aren't following a diet, exercise and insulin regime compatible with good control? I certainly accept that some people may struggle with insulin resistance, and for that metformin or some lizard spit (liraglutide) can be beneficial, but throwing this lot at people just because they have poor control is putting a sticking plaster over a festering wound
