TrialNet Screening Event - Cambridge
If you are a first or second degree relative with type 1 diabetes, you are 15 times more likely to develop the disease than someone who does not. TrialNet screening looks for diabetes-related autoantibodies that signal an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Participants who test positive for autoantibodies are closely monitored for the earliest signs of type 1 diabetes. Early detection and monitoring can also improve mental outlook and allow for earlier treatment to maintain insulin production. Participants who are deemed at higher risk may be eligible to join clinical studies, testing ways to delay and prevent the disease. Participation in research helps give scientists a better understanding of what causes diabetes which may help prevent or cure this disease one day.
