First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a self-administered fingerstick glucose tolerance test done at home can accurately measure blood sugar levels compared to the standard clinic-based test. Researchers will enroll 60 people at risk for or recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. If accurate, this approach could make screening more convenient and accessible.
