TrialNet Screening Event

TrialNet screens family members (parents, siblings, cousins, etc.) of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for diabetes-related markers. These can show up in your blood years before symptoms appear. Approximately 5% of relatives will have these markers, and they show that you are at a higher risk of developing T1D in the future. If you test positive for the markers, TrialNet offers additional monitoring to help watch for signs of T1D and prevention studies where they are looking for a treatment to delay or prevent disease progression.

You qualify for free risk screening if you:

·    Are between the ages of 2 and 45 years and have a parent, brother/sister, or child with T1D

·    Are between the ages of 2 and 20 years and have an aunt/uncle, cousin, grandparent, niece/nephew, or half-brother/sister with T1D

·    Have not been diagnosed with diabetes
