Trial Net Type 1 Diabetes Natural History Study
Relatives of people with type 1 diabetes have a 10 to 15 times greater risk for the disease than people without a family history. Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is not usually made until the person presents with symptoms, but the disease can start months to years before this. This study will identify people at increased risk and observe them over time. The study is divided into 3 phases with separate consent required for each. Phase 1 will identify people at risk using autoantibody testing. Those identified will enter Phase 2 which is a single visit to assess the level of risk. This is followed by Phase 3, which involves 6 monthly risk assessments for 5 years. Eligible participants would be offered participation in prevention trials as these become available.
