| Abstrakt: | Background: Despite all the technological advances in treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), glucose control remains suboptimal in most patients. In addition, a relatively high percentage of patients with T1D, including children, have obesity. Therefore, new interventions are required that focus their effects on weight loss, in order to help with associated insulin resistance and improve glycemic control. Summary: GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have proven to be effective and safe in adults with T1D, showing improvement in glycemic control, body weight and cardiorenal protection. GLP-1 RAs are also approved for children with obesity (above the age of 12 years) or type 2 diabetes (above the age of 10 years). However, currently these medications are not approved for use in children with T1D. Only a few published studies have evaluated their efficacy and safety for this indication. Key Message: This review presents the rationale and experience of add-on GLP-1 RA therapy to pediatric and adolescent patients with T1D, otherwise treated, from RCTs and real-world data. Results of studies of GLP-1 RA in children with T1D are still pending, while large multicenter randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in this population are lacking. (© 2024 The Author(s).
