JOIN TrialNet ON THE PATH TO PREVENTION

 

Get your family screened today. Having a family member with type 1 diabetes can significantly increase your risk of developing diabetes. TrialNet offers a simple blood test that can identify increased risk for type 1 diabetes many years before symptoms occur.

Why get screened? 

• Screening is the first step on the pathway to prevention. Those who test positive may be eligible to join research studies testing ways to delay and prevent the disease.

• Participants in the study who are at higher risk are closely monitored for the earliest signs of type 1 diabetes; early diagnosis can lead to better health outcomes.

• Participation in research helps give scientists a better understanding of what causes diabetes which may help prevent or cure this disease one day.

 

TrialNet offers screening to family members of people with Type 1 diabetes.

Who can be screened?

• 1st degree relatives (parents, children, siblings) between the ages of 2.5-45

• 2nd degree relatives (cousins, aunts/uncles, grandchildren) between the ages of 2.5-20
