Did you know that type 1 diabetes starts well before any symptoms develop?
Breakthrough T1D have a great explanation of the stages of T1D on their website at https://breakthrought1d.org.au/early-detection-of.../stages/
Type1Screen is working hard to identify people in the earlier stages of T1D so that they can avoid being seriously unwell at diagnosis AND so that they have the option to participate in clinical trials of new medicines that may help reduce or even stop the immune system attack on the pancreas.
For more information on screening for T1D, please look at our website at www.type1screen.org
