Module 3: Exploring the Pathophysiology and Stages of Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes
This module delves into the underlying biological mechanisms and causes of T1D, explaining how the disease develops
Chapter 3.1: Autoimmune Destruction of Beta Cells
This sub-chapter will detail the immune system's attack on insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
Learning Objectives
- Gain a brief overview of the etiology and pathophysiology of T1D
- Understand the genetic and environmental factors that play a role in the disease pathophysiology
- Understand how genetic risk scoring can be used to select individuals at an increased risk for T1D
Learning Objective
- Educate on the pathophysiology of T1D, specifically the autoimmune processes (beta cell destruction)
Learning Objective
- Describe T cell exhaustion and explain its importance in T1D pathophysiology
Chapter 3.2: Staging of Type 1 Diabetes
This sub-chapter outlines the distinct stages of T1D progression, from the initial autoimmune process to clinical diagnosis.
Learning Objective
- Explain the different stages of T1D and the likelihood of progression for people with presymptomatic disease
Learning Objective
- Educate on staging in presymptomatic T1D
Congratulations on completing BR1DGE Module 3: Exploring the Pathophysiology and Stages of Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes!
Monitoring Type one diabetes progressions
This module will emphasize why monitoring is vital for individuals at risk or in the early stages of T1D
Current and emerging management of type one diabetes
This module explores current evidence-based management approaches for T1D and examines emerging therapeutic strategies that may modify the course of T1D
Early detection of autoimmune type 1 diabetes
This module focuses on methods and strategies for identifying T1D in its presymptomatic stages, emphasizing the benefits of early diagnosis
