T1DETECT: LEARN WHY YOU SHOULD BE SCREENED

JDRF, the largest non-profit funder of type 1 diabetes (T1D) research is focused
on finding cures for T1D. Until we do, the advancements we’re making every day
help improve the lives of those living with this disease for a better today and
tomorrow.

T1Detect, JDRF’s screening education and awareness program, will arm you with
the information you need before and after getting screened for T1D
autoantibodies. Until now, T1D symptoms and a diagnosis often come out of the
blue. Today, families can use testing to begin to determine their T1D risk
early, so they can have time to plan and prepare for T1D. Now that autoantibody
testing is available to you, anyone at any age, even without family history of
T1D, can begin to find out—before symptoms even occur—if they are at risk for
developing T1D. The test is easy, simple and can help save lives.

Order a Test
wave1


A BIG STEP TOWARD PREVENTION

Being diagnosed with T1D means a lifetime of dependence on insulin and careful
management to avoid dangerous blood-sugar highs and lows. JDRF has been working
for decades to prevent and cure this disease and making this blood test
available to everyone is a promising step towards that.


Because T1D starts long before insulin dependency, families will be able to
prepare, develop a plan for further monitoring with their doctor and hopefully
avoid serious and sometimes life-threatening conditions, such as diabetic
ketoacidosis (DKA), along with possible hospitalization that can be more common
at the onset of the disease. And that’s not all. JDRF-funded research is closer
than ever to developing therapies that can intervene and disrupt the disease’s
progress before insulin dependency even begins.


Knowing your test results can also be empowering. Confirming that you or a loved
one are not at risk for T1D can give families peace of mind and ease
uncertainty.



Jerry and Samantha Brzozowski

When it comes to type 1 diabetes, the more proactive you can be the better.
Knowing our daughter had some of the autoantibodies armed us to be able to
research deeper, be more aware of the symptoms, and hopefully prevent
hospitalization.


HOW IT WORKS

This test detects autoantibodies in your blood that, along with additional
testing, may mean you are at risk for T1D. Unfortunately, rates of T1D are
growing among all racial and ethnic groups, with the highest increase among
Black and Hispanic youth. Many people don’t develop the disease until later in
life — and upwards of 93% of people with T1D have no family history of the
disease. That’s why this test is available for everyone.

Visit the screening portal to learn more and get started

STEP 1

Create an account to sign up, see payment options and order a test kit to be
sent to your home. Kits are $55, with the option to order a subsidized kit if
you are unable to afford the full-priced cost.

STEP 2

With an easy finger prick, provide a few, painless blood samples and send your
test kit back to the lab.



STEP 3

Receive your autoantibody results, explanations of what they mean and next steps
through your account on the testing website.




BENEFITS OF SCREENING

Screening reduces the risk of DKA and hospitalization at onset of symptoms.

DKA, a serious complication of T1D, can be life-threatening and studies show
that the risk of DKA at diagnosis is significantly reduced for those screened
for autoantibodies and monitored closely by a doctor, if positive.

Right now, promising clinical trials are testing therapies that could delay the
onset of T1D for years after screening.

These potential therapies could hold off insulin dependency for up to three
years, but only with early intervention which is possible thanks to screening.

Knowing your results gives peace of mind and time to prepare.

Many families feel blindsided by a T1D diagnosis. Knowing your autoantibody
results before the onset of symptoms can give you time to prepare with your
doctor and family.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

Why should I get screened for autoantibodies?  

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) starts years before you need to go on insulin and many
people get diagnosed with T1D because of a dangerous event called Diabetic
Ketoacidosis (DKA). We know that screening and education with specialized
medical follow up, if needed, can minimize the risk of DKA at diagnosis and
greatly improve your health outcomes. You could even benefit from ongoing
clinical trials to prevent the disease or new therapies as they become available
if you choose after consultation with your physician. Additionally – and equally
important – if you have someone with T1D in your family, you are at an increased
risk for developing T1D compared to someone without a known direct /immediate
family connection. 

Who should get screened? 

If you have T1D, or someone in your family does, you or your family are at an
increased risk for developing T1D. Even if you don’t have a relative with T1D,
or have T1D yourself, ~93% of T1D diagnoses happen to people without a known
family connection. Screening is also important for everyone of all ages.
Although T1D is more commonly diagnosed in children, teens, and young adults, it
can develop at any age.  

What is the screening test for? 

The test is for the presence of proteins in your blood called Islet
Autoantibodies that are markers, similar to routine tests for breast, prostate,
colon and other cancers, or other diseases such as heart disease through
cholesterol screening. Our goal is to establish routine screening for T1D risk
as is done for other diseases, while therapies that can truly change the course
of disease progression are developed. Specifically, the test will look for the
presence of 3 T1D specific markers: insulin autoantibodies (IAA), GAD
autoantibodies (GADA), insulinoma-associated antigen-2 autoantibodies (IA-2A).
The test will incorporate more markers in the future.  

Who will know about my screening results? 

When you register for a screening test-kit through our clinical lab partner,
Enable Biosciences, you will have the option to share your results with your
doctor and with JDRF. Any results shared with your doctor will become part of
your or your family member’s healthcare record. When you opt-in to share your
results with JDRF, you will be contacted with individualized support, resources,
and education. Your personal information and results will be protected and will
not be shared in any way without your permission.

“When my mom was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes she ended up in a coma. I want
to get screened to see if my risk is higher, so I can prepare and avoid a scary
situation like what my mom went through.”

PREVENTION IS CURE

The capability to delay T1D by three years is almost in our grasp. The next step
after that: Delaying it indefinitely and curing it. By making screening for T1D
available to everyone, we’ll be able to accelerate the development and testing
of disease modifying therapies to stop the disease from progressing and prevent
it. This is meaningful progress towards not just saving lives from dangerous
early-diagnosis complications, but ultimately eliminating a lifetime of T1D
burdens before they even begin.


That’s why screening and our research into possible preventions are so important
— they are a pathway to curing T1D once and for all. And for those currently
living with T1D, JDRF continues to pursue promising and real pathways to cure
this disease after its onset, while offering support, therapies, and guidance
for healthy management until that day comes.

This education was supported by a sponsorship from the following partners.




DISCLAIMER:

Testing kits, sample analysis, and test results are not distributed, collected,
conducted, analyzed, or reported by JDRF. JDRF does not assume responsibility
for testing outcomes or processes. Any sponsorship from JDRF is solely for the
purposes of covering at home testing costs incurred by authorized testing labs.
JDRF urges testing users to speak with their healthcare provider for additional
information based on the outcomes of their tests.

A single autoantibody test alone is not sufficient to determine your T1D risk.
It must be confirmed and complemented by other testing and advisement by a
medical professional expert in T1D.

Due to current state regulations, testing kits are currently not available for
distribution to addresses in New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland. We are working
diligently with the lab to make testing kits accessible in these states as
quickly as possible. Please check back frequently for updates, or email
info@jdrf.org for more information.

Accessibility StatementCompliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone
and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest
possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor
impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.

If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind
users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s
functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they
immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can
browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of
the most important screen-reader requirements:

 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s
    components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when
    updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
    meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
    accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
    search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
    element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. 
    
    Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It
    provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
    description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
    described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR
    (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader
    adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard
    combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn
    the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
    
    These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,
    NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
    
    
 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
    website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
    website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
    website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
    keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
    navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
    them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
    
    Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any
    time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating
    with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by
    moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing
    the focus to drift outside.
    
    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
    (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring
    options.
 3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click
    of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs,
    and CSS flashing transitions.
 4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such
    as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered
    elements only.
 5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other
    issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the
    entire website instantly.
 6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and
    Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of
    phrases, initials, slang, and others.
 7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a
    printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so
our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as
possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major
systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA
(screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to
