Brief description of study
Researchers at City of Hope (California), University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Indiana University are studying a medication called denosumab as a potential treatment for people with type 1 diabetes. Denosumab, also known as Prolia, is a drug that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for bone disease treatment since 2010. This study will test if denosumab is a safe and effective treatment to help people with type 1 diabetes make insulin and improve blood sugar control.
