100 registrations!

Type1Screen registers 100 participants!

Type1Screen has registered its 100th participant via our new online portal.

The portal was launched on July 28th 2022. Our very first registrant joined August 18th 2022.

We are really pleased and thankful for the community uptake of this initiative.

If there is type 1 diabetes in your family, and you wish to get screened for your risk of the condition, you can register here.

Anyone aged 2 years or older with a family history of type 1 diabetes, and living in Australia or New Zealand, is eligible for this free screening test.

These two siblings participated in Type1Screen because their mum has Type 1 Diabetes.

Updated consent forms

Updated Type1Screen consent forms

To those extremely observant people who have noticed a change in our participant information and consent forms (PICFs)… you are extremely observant!!!

It is true that we have uploaded version 3 of our PICFs to the “Home” and “What’s Involved” web pages.

The update was to ensure that participants and their families are prepared for the fact that news of a positive islet autoantibody screen can be very stressful.

The new PICF also includes exciting developments in our antibody assays, which will allow for home finger prick sample collection. This will be up and running in the near future. Stay tuned.

You can also download the PICF for minors aged 2-18 years by clicking on this link, and for adults aged 18-30 at this link.
