Learn about early screening for type 1 diabetes (T1D)

Did you know a person is up to 15x more likely to develop T1D if a family member has it? Now, it’s possible to see T1D coming with The Type 1 Test—a type of blood test. It works by detecting T1D in the earliest stages before there are symptoms. Join Jacquelyn Brown, PhD at Provention Bio as she explains T1D risk factors, how The Type 1 Test works, and the benefits of knowing the test results as early as possible.

The Type 1 Test is a blood test that can detect type 1 diabetes (T1D) in its earliest stages, before there are any symptoms.
Knowing early can help you be better prepared to recognize symptoms when they do appear. This can reduce the risk of serious complications, like diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
