Pioneering The Future: Transferring technology and localizing insulin production in Saudi Arabia

Healthcare transformation is at the heart of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, and at its core is the need for sustainable access to essential medicines. Diabetes remains one of the Kingdom’s most pressing health challenges, demanding solutions that go beyond innovation—solutions that build long-term resilience and self-sufficiency.
At Sanofi, we believe strong partnerships drive lasting progress. Our collaboration with Sudair Pharma Company (SPC) and NUPCO reflects a shared commitment to localizing insulin production, reducing reliance on imports, and strengthening Saudi Arabia’s pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities.
With millions in the Kingdom affected by diabetes, securing a stable, high-quality insulin supply is not just a healthcare necessity—it’s a national priority. Local production advances Saudi Arabia’s ambition to lead in life sciences and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, reinforcing its position as a regional hub for innovation.

And beyond manufacturing, this -strategic, long-term partnership equips Saudi talent with the skills and expertise to shape the future of biopharmaceuticals. By embedding advanced technology and rigorous training into the local ecosystem, we are not just producing insulin—we are building a foundation for long-term healthcare innovation.
I am especially excited about the upcoming groundbreaking of the new state-of-the-art facility—a moment that underscores our commitment to healthcare security and self-sufficiency in Saudi Arabia. This specialized Insulin facility will not only enhance local production capabilities but also serve as a symbol of what is possible when the public and private sectors come together to deliver sustainable healthcare solutions.
Vision 2030 is about bold steps that drive economic growth, industrial progress, and healthcare excellence. Local insulin production is one of those steps—ensuring world-class treatment is available where it’s needed – by Saudis, for Saudi, in Saudi…
At Sanofi, we are proud to be part of this journey. By bringing our expertise, technology, and investment to Saudi Arabia, we are helping build a more self-sufficient and resilient healthcare system—one that delivers for patients today while shaping the future of medicine for generations to come.

DIABETES

Screening and monitoring are critical to managing autoimmune T1D and reducing the likelihood of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) hospitalization or emergency care at the time of Stage 3 autoimmune T1D diagnosis.1

<h4>Testing for islet autoantibodies against four major pancreatic autoantigens is currently available:</h4>

A combination of these four primary types of autoantibodies is recommended to detect autoimmunity.1-3
The presence of islet autoantibodies alongside metabolic status defines the three stages of T1D.4
These screening criteria are recommended by the most recent ADA Standards of Care.1

<h3>At-risk ≤1 autoantibody 
 Normoglycemia</h3>
How to confirm single IAb+ status1
CONFIRM RESULTS

After first detection of single IAb, follow the ‘rule of twos’, using two independent methods to confirm negative results for other IAbs.1

MONITORING FREQUENCY (children &lt;3 years old)

Monitor IAb+ status every 6 months for 3 years, then annually thereafter for 3 more years.1

Metabolic monitoring includes random venous or capillary blood glucose and HbA1c values at the same frequency.1

If no progression, stop autoantibody and metabolic monitoring and counsel for risk of clinical disease.1

MONITORING FREQUENCY (children ≥3 years old)

Monitor IAb+ status annually for 3 years.1

Metabolic monitoring includes annual random venous or capillary blood glucose and HbA1c testing for 3 years.1

Critical monitoring during early years 
 (first two years after seroconversion):1
<ul>
 <li>Islet autoantibody status and metabolic monitoring are most critical during this time.</li>
 <li>Ongoing metabolic monitoring is not essential beyond this period.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Stage 1 (early stage) ≥2 autoantibodies 
 Normoglycemia</h3>
How to confirm multiple IAb+ status1

After first detection of ≥2 IAbs, follow the ‘rule of twos’, using two independent methods to confirm positive status for other islet autoantibodies.1

TWO-TEST CONFIRMATION NOT POSSIBLE? A single blood test positive for multiple islet autoantibody status identifies a person with sufficient risk for metabolic monitoring.1

REVERTED STATUS? For adults with previously confirmed multiple IAb+ status who revert to single IAb+ or IAb− status, metabolic monitoring should follow the guidelines below for Stage 1.1

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR METABOLIC MONITORING1

</figure>

Conduct monitoring based on staging criteria and modalities described in Tables 1 and 5 of the consensus guidelines.1

Ensure monitoring is done when the child is healthy and not experiencing intercurrent illness.1

Provide SMBG meters and strips to all children with multiple islet autoantibody positivity or their parents.1

During intercurrent illness (e.g., a cold), use SMBG to detect hyperglycemia.1

For recent confirmation of multiple IAb+ status, perform SMBG tests on two different days over a 2-week period, then once every 1–3 months.1

<h3>Stage 2 (early stage) ≥2 autoantibodies 
 Glucose intolerance or dysglycemia</h3>
How to confirm multiple IAb+ status1

CONFIRM RESULTS1

After first detection of ≥2 IAbs, follow the ‘rule of twos’, using two independent methods to confirm positive status for other islet autoantibodies.1

REVERTED STATUS? For adults with previously confirmed multiple IAb+ status who revert to single IAb+ or IAb− status, metabolic monitoring should follow the guidelines below for Stage 2.1

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR METABOLIC MONITORING1

Monitor measures of glucose regulation (glycemic status) every 3 months.

A longitudinal change in HbA1c of ≥10% from the confirmed islet autoantibody date may indicate dysglycemia and disease progression.1

Perform an OGTT to assess T1D stage for therapy eligibility.1

Measure random venous or capillary blood glucose simultaneously with HbA1c.1

Use 10–14-day CGM periodically at a similar frequency as HbA1c measurement.1

Monitor objective weight trends using a growth chart and ensure a healthy meal plan to preclude disordered eating behaviors as a cause of weight change.1

OGTT is the established gold standard to classify Stage 1, Stage 2 or Stage 3 T1D however if OGTT is not possible:1
<ul>
 <li>Obtain a 2-hour postprandial capillary blood glucose measurement after a carbohydrate-rich meal to assess for dysglycemia.1</li>
</ul>

CGM should be blinded to the individual and interpreted by trained HCPs.1

Criteria for CGM metrics to diagnose Stage 2 or Stage 3 T1D require further research.1

<h4>All persons at risk through to Stage 2</h4>
PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT FOR SINGLE AND MULTIPLE IAb+ INDIVIDUALS

Emotional, cognitive and behavioral functioning should be assessed in people at risk of or with early-stage autoimmune type 1 diabetes and their family members, when appropriate. Anxiety, risk perception and behavior changes should specifically be assessed.1

Ask the individual at risk or with early-stage type 1 diabetes and/or their caregivers and family members about their reactions upon receiving the news that they have type 1 diabetes-related autoantibodies. This can be accomplished using guiding questions and standardized and validated questionnaires.1

At each monitoring visit, there should be enquiries into current needs, particularly coping.1

Psychological care should be integrated into routine medical visits and, whenever possible, delivered by providers with diabetes-specific training.1

<h3>Stage 3 ≥1 autoantibodies Persistent hyperglycemia with or without symptoms</h3>

Screening and subsequent monitoring for presymptomatic T1D prior to clinical onset of Stage 3 have several benefits, including reducing the risk of DKA and hospitalization, and providing opportunities for education and preparation for chronic disease management.5,6
The decision to start insulin depends on a range of factors and consideration to do so should be referred to a specialist center.1
