This study screens high-risk children for early signs of type 1 diabetes by testing relatives who already have the condition. It aims to catch diabetes early so treatment can start sooner.
This study screens close family members of people with type 1 diabetes for early signs of the condition. A simple blood test looks for special markers (autoantibodies) that can show if the immune system is starting to attack the pancreas. Finding these markers early may help doctors prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.
This trial is looking for children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes to study how to detect the condition earlier. It focuses on kids who have already reached the stage where symptoms appear, to improve understanding of the disease.
This study tests whether the drug sitagliptin can delay or prevent type 1 diabetes in people who have a family member with the disease and show early signs of risk. If you are eligible, you would take sitagliptin and have regular health checks for about a year.
This study screens newborn babies (up to 6 weeks old) to identify those at high risk for type 1 diabetes, so they can be invited to join future prevention trials. The goal is to catch risk early and potentially prevent the disease.
This study tests whether a program of diet and activity advice for families can lower the risk of type 1 diabetes in infants who have a higher genetic chance of developing it. It aims to find simple, everyday ways to help protect your child.
