Universal type 1 diabetes screening in children
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study helps clinics add a simple blood test to well-child visits to catch type 1 diabetes early, before symptoms appear. It also asks parents and clinic staff for feedback to make screening easier and more routine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a well-child visit at a participating clinic at one of the ages they chose for testing
- The clinic can use blood drawn for other routine tests to run the diabetes screening, so no extra needle stick
- You are 18 or older to answer the survey and interview
- Your child's electronic health record can be used to gather results

This study tests a screening program to find early signs of type 1 diabetes in family members of people who have it. If you are a close relative, you may be able to get checked and learn about your risk.
This study looks at using a finger-prick test instead of a standard blood draw for the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which measures how your body handles sugar. It may help young people at risk for or with early type 1 diabetes avoid repeated needle sticks.
This study screens children aged 2 to 10 for early signs of type 1 diabetes using a simple blood test. Finding these signs early may help prevent or delay the disease.
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 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 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.
