Universal type 1 diabetes screening for children
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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 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 estimates the chance of developing type 1 diabetes in children by using information gathered during regular well-child visits. It may help identify children who could benefit from earlier monitoring.
This study looks at whether asking families about social challenges (like food or housing) during routine diabetes visits can help improve care for children with type 1 diabetes.
