Screening can detect autoantibodies associated with type 1 diabetes before symptoms and potentially serious complications begin.
There are many options for where to get screened
— potentially at low or no cost.
Screening Central offers a comprehensive and convenient solution to help with every step of screening for type 1 diabetes autoantibodies.
Talk to your Doctor
Starting with your doctor is an important step to getting screened for type 1 diabetes. Your doctor could help you get tested at a participating lab or in office kit. This guide can help you with that conversation.

Simply decide on the level of support that is best for you by either having a short screening form reviewed by a provider or scheduling a telehealth visit. The cost for the test will depend on your insurance coverage and screening selections.
Get Tested

You can choose to visit a local lab, have a kit sent to you to complete at home, or even schedule an at home blood draw.
