Why Now Is the Time to Screen for Type 1 Diabetes

T1D is a stealthy disease where insulin-producing beta cells within the pancreas could be attacked at any moment. Technology and innovation have transformed the early detection landscape for T1D.  With a simple blood test, we can now detect T1D in its earliest stages, often long before insulin is required.  By catching the disease early, it can give people time to plan and prepare and prevent hospitalization at diagnosis.

Breakthrough T1D has been at the forefront of driving education and awareness in the field.  For more information, please visit for an overview about Breakthrough T1D Early Detection: https://www.jdrf.org/t1d-resources/t1detect/.
