Screening all kids for type 1 diabetes can catch more cases early
A new study suggests that screening all children for early signs of type 1 diabetes could lead to earlier detection of the disease. Currently, only children with a family history or known genetic risk are routinely screened, which misses many cases. The research indicates that extending screening could identify a significant number of children without a family history of type 1 diabetes.
- ▪A 10-year study in Germany found that broader screening identified more cases of type 1 diabetes.
- ▪About 90 percent of individuals who develop type 1 diabetes do not have a family history of the disease.
- ▪The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
