Clinical Affiliate of the Type 1 Diabetes Trialnet
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) occurs in genetically predisposed individuals as a result of the progressive, destruction of pancreatic �-cells, which are the insuli-producing cells. The disease process results in loss of insulin secretion and life-long insulin-dependence, and unfortunately, most often occurs in children, adolescents, and young adults. It is possible to interfere with this destructive process that leads to T1D, and as part of TrialNet, we are taking investigative steps to move us closer to the ultimate goal of prevention of T1D.
