A Guide to Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes Screening Tests
An overview of the screening methods for autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Learning Objectives
- Recognize the available screening tests for autoimmune T1D and understand the advantages and limitations of each.
Summary
Screening for the presence of two or more islet antibodies can identify people with autoimmune T1D.
Currently, five assays are available to screen for autoantibodies. The current gold standard is the radio-binding assay.
Following screening, progression to autoimmune T1D depends on many factors, including age and time since screening.
