ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new way to test for Type 1 Diabetes using a simple fingerstick blood test that people can do at home. The goal is to see how accurate this home test is compared to the standard test done in a clinic, where blood is drawn from a vein after drinking a sugary drink. This study is for people who may be at risk for Type 1 Diabetes—specifically, those who have certain antibodies in their blood that suggest they might develop the condition—or for those who have recently been diagnosed with early-stage Type 1 Diabetes.
If you are interested in joining, you should be between the ages of about 29 and 16,435 (this seems like a typo, so likely it means ages 2 to 18 or similar) and either have these antibodies or have been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes within the last 100 days. Participants will be asked to perform the home fingerstick test and also come in for the usual clinic test so researchers can compare the results. This study could help make diabetes screening easier and more convenient in the future by allowing people to test themselves at home.
