Diabetes mellitus type 1 screening
Introduction
Overview
Overview
According to the American Diabetic Association, screening for diabetes mellitus type 1 is not recommended. Nevertheless, there are some data proposing favorable effects within screened patients.
Screening
Screening
- According to the American diabetic association screening for diabetes mellitus type 1 is not recommended. However, one should consider referring relatives of those with type 1 diabetes for antibody testing for risk assessment in the setting of a clinical research. Higher-risk individuals may be tested, but only in the context of a clinical research setting.[1]
- Based on some studies, screening for diabetic patients has some favorable effects. The following table is a summary of screening effects based on 6 pediatric studies:[2][3][4][5][6][7]
| Study | Less DKA | Lower HbA1c | Lower insulin dose | Shorter hospitalization period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BABYDIAB and Munich | + | + | – | + |
| DiPiS | + | + | – | Not determined |
| TEDDY | + | + | + | Not determined |
| DAISY | + | + | + | + |
| DIPP | + | + | Not determined | Not determined |
*TEDDY (The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young) study reported higher c-peptide level at least within 12 months after diagnosis, which is related to better response to immunologic interventions.[5]
*DIPP (Finnish Type 1 diabetes Prediction and Prevention) reported lower rate of weight loss among patients who were screened for diabetes mellitus type 1[8]
