The aim of this research is to identify pre-symptomatic Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in young children and adolescents who have first degree relatives with T1D. This protocol has been developed to address the growing need for standardized T1D screening, monitoring, and data collection in alignment with international recommendations. The study's estimated duration is 13 months and will consist of two visits: Visit 1 (screening visit) and Visit 2 (confirmatory visit).

RECRUITINGProportion of at-risk (first-degree) relatives of T1D probands who meet the diagnostic criteria for Stage 1 or Stage 2 T1D
Stage 1 is defined by the presence of two or more diabetes-related autoantibodies with normoglycemia. Stage 2 is characterized by the presence of two or more diabetes-related autoantibodies with dysglycemia (impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance) but without clinical symptoms of diabetes
Time frame: At Baseline (screening visit) and in 3 months, at Visit 2 (confirmatory visit)
Proportion of participants who meet the criteria for Stage 3 Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) diagnosis
Stage 3 is defined by the presence of two or more diabetes-related autoantibodies, abnormal blood glucose levels, and clinical symptoms of T1D, such as polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, and fatigue
Time frame: At Baseline (screening visit) and in 3 months, at Visit 2 (confirmatory visit)
Refusal rate - ratio of patients proposed for screening who did not accept autoantibody testing and follow-up monitoring
Time frame: At Baseline (screening visit)
Acceptance rate - ratio of patients proposed for screening who accepted autoantibody testing and follow-up monitoring
Time frame: At Baseline (screening visit) and in 3 months, at Visit 2 (confirmatory visit)
