Here's random articles I've come across--not sure if they've been mentioned already.

Revimmune Uses An Approved Drug In A New Patent-Pending Method To Eliminate Autoimmunity
My comments: Basically, the article makes mention of treatment of Type 1 diabetes by "rebooting" the immune system with an already-approved drug. They report that this process has been successful with other autoimmune conditions, like MS, MG, and RA.
Even though juvenile diabetes is mentioned, no studies have been made with it.
I get uncomfortable when too many forward-looking statements are made in a single press release.

Diamyd Medical Announces Phase III Clinical Trials Plan For Diamyd(R) In Type 1 Diabetes
My comments: This article mentions a drug from Diamyd Medical that deals with the GAD65 autoantigen. It's interesting to note that they report that the GAD might have a roll in other CNS-related diseases. This links back to the news reported earlier about another research group thinking that Type 1 has a neurological component.
