Understanding what causes type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how things in the environment might affect the risk of type 1 diabetes. It aims to find out what triggers the disease, which could help with prevention and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 diabetes, and you were diagnosed within the last 3 years.
- You are on insulin from the time of diagnosis.
- You have at least one of these: diagnosed before age 15, not overweight or obese at diagnosis, or had diabetic ketoacidosis.
- You have a positive test for at least one diabetes-related autoantibody, or you are a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, child) aged 45 or younger without diabetes.
- You have not had major surgery, severe illness, or active cancer, and you are not on immune-suppressing medicines.

This study looks at what day-to-day health and medical features are like in people who have had type 1 diabetes for many years. It may help researchers better understand long-term needs in type 1 diabetes and guide future care.
This study looks at genetic factors in people recently diagnosed with diabetes to understand what might predict who needs insulin treatment. Researchers will analyze blood samples and medical information to see if genetic testing could help doctors predict your treatment path.
This study looks for people at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes (based on family history or blood markers) and follows them over time to understand disease development. The goal is to eventually prevent or delay type 1 diabetes in people who don't have it yet.
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 looks at genetic patterns in families where someone has type 1 diabetes (an autoimmune condition). It may help researchers understand why type 1 diabetes happens and who is at risk.
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.
