NCT ID NCT07322380
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether it's practical to screen close relatives of people with type 1 diabetes for early signs of the disease. About 1,000 adults in Quebec will have blood tests and answer questionnaires. If they show early markers, they will be monitored either by the research team or their own doctor to see which approach works better.
