“Early detection has never been more important, as new drugs are now available that can delay the onset of the disease, but only if they are given before symptoms develop. This study presents high-quality, evidence that remote testing for type 1 diabetes is widely taken up by families across the UK, with particularly high participation among those with a family history of the condition.”
What Dr Nick Thomas has said
“The final draft guidance from NICE marks a step change in how we think about managing type 1 diabetes. In every clinic, I'm reminded by my patients just how much of a full-time job living with type 1 diabetes is. For the first time, we can now act to modify the disease.”

“I am motivated to turn research on presymptomatic type 1 diabetes into meaningful changes in clinical practice, improving patient care. This funding will enable me to develop specialist expertise in identifying and managing adults who are autoantibody positive before and at the point of diabetes diagnosis.”
