Testing for T1D has changed - what you (and your doctor) need to know about screening

We've been hearing a lot more about screening for type 1 diabetes – I saw my first mainstream commercial for it last week – but what does that mean? If you have type 1 or you have a child with T1D, are you thinking about screening other family members? Should you? Over the summer new guidelines were announced for health care providers – including mental health guidelines. There's a lot to unpack here.. my guest is the director of community screening and clinical trials education with BT1D. My guest this week is Anastasia Albanese-O'Neill, the director of community screening and clinical trials education with BT1D. As you'll hear, her daughter was diagnosed in 2002.. and Anastasia transitioned to a career in diabetes education and research a few years later. This summer, Breakthrough T1D led an effort to develop the first internationally agreed-upon guidance for anyone who tests positive for T1D autoantibodies, co-published today in the journals Diabetes Care and Diabetologia.   This podcast is not intended as medical advice.
