The study, in the sponsor's words
This trial plans to learn more about the effects of a medication, semaglutide, on cardiovascular function, kidney function, and insulin sensitivity in adults with type 1 diabetes. This medication has been effective in reducing cardiovascular disease and diabetic kidney disease and improving glucose control and BMI in adults with type 2 diabetes. This study aims to look at how well the medication works in people with type 1 diabetes. Semaglutide is not approved by the FDA to be used in this way. These procedures are considered to be experimental.
