We’re happy to announce that since the ASK screening program launched in 2017, we have now completed 40,000 screenings!

Of all those tested, 1% screened positive for T1D biomarkers, and more than 2% had biomarkers for celiac disease.

Screening works! People who screen positive have important opportunities to prepare and plan for these autoimmune diseases before they experience symptoms and, in some cases, can delay the onset of symptoms.

ASK is a research program launched by the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes (BarbaraDavisCenter.org) that offers SCREENINGS AT NO COST to ALL U.S. children (ages 1-17) and adults to detect Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease.
