Pathway to Prevention

If you have a relative with T1D, you may be eligible for risk screening that can detect the early stages of T1D years before symptoms appear.

Pathway to Prevention

If you or your child has tested positive for type 1 diabetes related autoantibodies, we’re here for you.

Monitoring

Depending on your risk screening results, you may be eligible for monitoring. We’ll monitor you for disease progression and let you know if you become eligible for a study.

Prevention Studies

If your screening results show you are in the early stages of T1D, you may be eligible to join a prevention study testing ways to slow or stop disease progression.

Current Studies

If your screening results show you are in the early stages of T1D, you may be eligible to participate in a TrialNet prevention study.

 

Newly Diagnosed T1D

For people newly diagnosed with T1D, we offer clinical studies testing ways to slow disease progression by preserving insulin production.

Current Studies

Our studies for people newly diagnosed with T1D are testing ways to preserve insulin and slow down or stop disease progression.

Many people newly diagnosed are making some insulin. You may have heard this referred to as the “honeymoon phase.” The goal of our studies is to maintain insulin production for as long as possible. Research shows that maintaining insulin production results in fewer complications, better glucose control, and lower A1C levels. 

Long-Term Investigative Follow-Up in TrialNet (LIFT)

If you are diagnosed with T1D while participating in one of our prevention studies, we’re still here for you. You can continue to receive personal monitoring while helping us learn more.

Completed Studies

When a study ends and findings are analyzed, we share the results with participants, the scientific community, and the public.
Once a study ends and findings are analyzed, we share the results with the participants, scientific community, and public.
