Early screening for type 1 diabetes risk in newborns
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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 screens brothers, sisters, and children of people with type 1 diabetes to find early signs of the disease before symptoms appear. The goal is to catch it early and offer monitoring or future prevention options.
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 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 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 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.
This study follows pregnant women and their babies to learn how early-life factors may affect the risk of type 1 diabetes. If your baby has a parent or sibling with type 1 diabetes, you may be able to join.
