In the regions of Newcastle and Cambridge, the INGR1D2 initiative aims at identifying children with genetic markers that make them at increased risk of developing T1D.
Children aged 3-13 years in England and Wales can access home screening to detect T1D by participating in the ELSA study. Home screening is also available for adults (18-70 years) through T1DRA.
Sweden
Screening for T1D is also available in Sweden through the TRIAD study. Children between 2 and 14 years can get screened through a simple blood test taken at home. The screening will also detect celiac disease or autoimmune thyroid disease.
Denmark
If you live in Denmark, you have a close relative living with T1D and you are aged between 1 and 40, you can participate in the DiaUnion screening study. With a blood test taken at home, you will know if you have early-stage T1D, celiac disease and autoimmune thyroid disease.
Lisbon (Portugal)
The health team of APDP performs autoantibody screening in children (2-10 years old) to detect early-stage T1D. You can get screened at the ADPD clinic or at local sport initiatives. Check the website to get to know at which initiatives you can find the APDP team!
USA, Canada and Australia
TrialNet is a network of health care professionals and researchers working on T1D and that offers screening opportunities for family members of individuals living with T1D.
Clinical trials
Children, adolescents and adults with T1D can participate in clinical trials. A clinical trial is a study in which a new treatment for a specific disease is tested and its efficacy is evaluated. These studies are carefully designed and are approved before they can take place.
If you wish to participate or enroll your child in a clinical trial, or simply you are curious and want to know more about it, we invite you to contact your GP or endocrinologist, who will be able to provide you with informed advises on this matter.
