Rationale:
The accrual of data from the laboratory and from epidemiologic and prevention trials has improved the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Genetic and immunologic factors play a key role in the development of T1DM, and characterization of the early metabolic abnormalities in T1DM is steadily increasing. However, information regarding the natural history of T1DM remains incomplete. The TrialNet Natural History Study of the Development of T1DM (Pathway to Prevention Study) has been designed to clarify this picture, and in so doing, will contribute to the development and implementation of studies aimed at prevention of and early treatment in T1DM.
Purpose:
TrialNet is an international network dedicated to the study, prevention, and early treatment of type 1 diabetes. TrialNet sites are located throughout the United States, Canada, Finland, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand. TrialNet is dedicated to testing new approaches to the prevention of and early intervention for type 1 diabetes.
The goal of the TrialNet Natural History Study of the Development of Type 1 Diabetes is to enhance our understanding of the demographic, immunologic, and metabolic characteristics of individuals at risk for developing type 1 diabetes.
The Natural History Study will screen relatives of people with type 1 diabetes to identify those at risk for developing the disease. Relatives of people with type 1 diabetes have about a 5% percent chance of being positive for the antibodies associated with diabetes. TrialNet will identify adults and children at risk for developing diabetes by testing for the presence of these antibodies in the blood. A positive antibody test is an early indication that damage to insulin-secreting cells may have begun. If this test is positive, additional testing will be offered to determine the likelihood that a person may develop diabetes. Individuals with antibodies will be offered the opportunity for further testing to determine their risk of developing diabetes over the next 5 years and to receive close monitoring for the development of diabetes.

Detailed Description:
The Pathway to Prevention Study is conducted in two parts:
- Screening
- Monitoring (annual and semi-annual depending on risk)
In Screening , a simple blood test is done to screen for the presence of diabetes-related biochemical autoantibodies (GAD and mIAA). Additional autoantibodies ICA, IA-2A, and ZnT8A will also measured in individuals positive for mIAA. ICA, IA-2A, and ZnT8A will be measured in individuals positive for GAD. Participants can go to a TrialNet Clinical Center, Affiliate, or request a screening kit to have their blood drawn by a local physician or laboratory. Participants will be provided with their screening results within 4-6 weeks.
If autoantibodies are present, participants will be invited to have additional testing to determine their average risk of developing diabetes over the next 5 years. Participants that are single autoantibody positive will be re-tested annually for the development of multiple autoantibodies. Multiple autoantibody positive participants will undergo an eligibility visit which will include an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), re-testing for biochemical and islet cell autoantibodies if needed, and measurement of HbA1c.
Multiple autoantibody positive individuals with a normal glucose tolerance and an HbA1c < 6.0% will be asked to come for follow-up on annual basis; multiple autoantibody positive individuals with an abnormal glucose tolerance or an HbA1c ≥ 6.0%will be asked to come for follow-up visits on semi-annual basis.
Participants will be monitored for possible progression towards type 1 diabetes and may be offered the opportunity to enter into a prevention study such (e.g., Oral Insulin prevention study) or an early treatment study if they are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes while participating in the Natural History Study.
