Screening young children for type 1 diabetes risk
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a screening program that looks for early signs of type 1 diabetes in children ages 2 to 10. It aims to find kids at risk as early as possible so they can get care sooner.

This study checks for specific blood markers (“islet autoantibodies”) to find children who may be at risk for developing type 1 diabetes later, before symptoms start. It’s mainly for children who have no known diabetes yet.
This study tests a program to screen children for type 1 diabetes during regular checkups. The goal is to see if adding this screening to routine blood tests helps find early signs of diabetes, so families can get earlier care and support.
This study screens very young infants (under 6 weeks old) to find those at high risk for type 1 diabetes. The goal is to identify babies who may be able to join future prevention trials.
This study looks at infants to find how likely they are to develop type 1 diabetes later in life. If you have a newborn who is very young, you may be able to take part by allowing the study team to test them as part of early risk screening.
This study follows children who are at genetic risk for type 1 diabetes or have early immune signs (autoantibodies) but do not yet need insulin. It provides extra checkups and information to catch the disease early and help families understand their child's risk.
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.
