Catch T1D Before It Catches Your Child - Screen for T1D Today

Quick Take

Screening for type 1 diabetes (T1D) can detect the condition years before symptoms appear. 

It reduces the risk of life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), unlocks access to the first FDA-approved drug that can delay the onset of T1D, and opens the door to cutting-edge prevention trials.

T1D Scout is proud to launch the world’s first fully remote T1D screening program. Everything happens online and at home, with expert follow-up if your child is identified as high-risk of developing T1D. We're now inviting trial participants without any costs.

Why screen now?

To prevent DKA and avoid the ICU

Roughly 40 % of U.S. children are still diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in DKA, a life‑threatening complication that lengthens hospital stays and raises costs. Early identification through autoantibodies or genetics allows proactive monitoring and dramatically lowers the risk.

A disease‑modifying therapy exists

The FDA approved Teplizumab in 2022. Just one 14‑day course delayed the onset of clinical T1D by a median of two years in stage‑2 individuals. Screening transforms that possibility into a reality for your family.

Gateway to cutting‑edge trials

Programs like TrialNet and Colorado’s Autoantibody Screening for Kids (ASK) enroll antibody‑positive children in studies testing new immune therapies and beta‑cell protective strategies. 

Consensus guidance from ADA  and Breakthrough T1D underscores that early referral reduces DKA and accelerates access to emerging treatments.
