Learning Objectives
- Provide practical advice and tools to effectively navigate conversations about IAb-positive results, addressing the potential burden on individuals and their families or caregivers
Summary
An IAb-positive test result impacts people in different ways. Some families are happy to know that their child won't be diagnosed in the hospital and that they can monitor them. Other families react with a lot of stress or anxiety and worry about when will this happen and what will it look like.
For HCPs it can be difficult to communicate risk. The most important thing is to confirm IAb status. HCPs should have all the information so to advise families best what their situation is and what the next steps will look like.
People who test positive for early-stage T1D should have educational materials that are adapted to their local situation. As well, consensus guidelines are important in assisting psychosocial support.
