The importance of screening for type 1 diabetes was the subject of a meeting held during the American Association for Diabetes Scientific Conference in New Orleans last month.
Paediatric Endocrinologist Kimber Simmons MD, MS, talked about the stages of type 1 diabetes and the screening options available, and what resources families and people with diabetes now have in relation to screening.
The event was organised by Children With Diabetes (CWD), a not for profit organisation based in the USA dedicated to providing support, education and inspiration to families and children of all ages living with diabetes.
