What is Type 1 Diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes makes you need insulin to stay healthy. Getting diagnosed with type 1diabetes can be a surprise, so it's good to know the signs to look out for. Learn more about type 1 diabetes, what symptoms to be aware of, and when it's important to see your doctor.
Screening for Type 1 Diabetes
If someone in your family has type 1 diabetes, you and your blood-related family members have a 15-times higher chance of getting it too. Doing a simple blood test can tell you if you might develop type 1 diabetes. Most people we see in the clinic don't have a family member with type 1 diabetes, so even if you don't have a family history, it's still important to check for it. Various programs and options are available depending on your circumstances, with convenient options at the BDC and in your community.
An Infusion to Delay Type 1 Diabetes
In 2022, the FDA gave the green light for a new treatment to postpone the need to start insulin in type 1 diabetes. This treatment is for people who are currently in stage 2 of type 1 diabetes, which means they show no symptoms but have diabetes-related autoantibodies and are starting to have abnormal blood sugar levels. Our clinic evaluates patients for this infusion therapy and offers treatment as part of its state-of-the-art clinical immunotherapy program.
