"Type 1 Diabetes Risk in Adults" study (@T1DRAdiabetes) opens TODAY

Recruiting 20,000 adults aged 18-70 yrs - involves in-post finger prick test

With @elsadiabetes, the UK is 1st country in the world to offer #T1D screening for adults & children in the general population 👏🏻

[Helmsley Charitable Trust @HelmsleyTrust]

A recent publication from the #Fr1da study, supported by Helmsley, @HelmholtzMunich, @JDRF , and other partners, found that children diagnosed in early stages of #Type1Diabetes had milder clinical diabetes onset. This analysis adds evidence to support general population screening for #T1D: https://t.co/jWNIV9OzZx

@JcKatte @BristolUni Thank you so much for visiting Jean Claude - great discussions of your results and future collaborative plans #exciting @BOXfamilystudy

[JC Katte @JcKatte]

Was thrilled to have presented some of my islet antibody data in #T1D in #Africa to @KGillespieBris team in @BristolUni yesterday. Islet antibody rates are lower in people diagnosed with T1D in SSA and #diabetes duration and age of diabetes onset do not fully explain why.

@KGillespieBris presents the findings from the BOX Family Study. The increase in #T1D diagnosis at an earlier age of children of parents with #T1D does have some confounding factors but, for the most part, reflects global trends #dedoc #EASD2021

Do you live in the UK and have #diabetes? With a finger prick blood sample, we can measure ongoing responses to #COVID19 and #vaccine. Can you help? Find out more here https://t.co/LHNr6c6j9n

Last chance to take part in a short survey for @BristolUni to help shape better support for people with diabetes during the pandemic. If you’re living with diabetes, could you spare a few minutes to take part in the survey? The survey closes end of August: https://t.co/Sr5rqVRqqz

While our current studies are paused, the Diabetes team and collaborators have been working hard, using their skills on a low volume test for COVID-19 antibodies. A new research study CTC-19 starts next week!

BOX Family Study research is temporarily paused to allow recruitment sites and staff to focus on COVID-19 studies.

Please do not collect and return samples until further notice. Keep safe and well everyone.

Happy New Year BOX study participants - thank you for lots of samples already in 2020!

[BOX Study @BOXfamilystudy]

Thank you so much Kirsty @MrsPTweeting - our research relies on the samples and information provided by wonderful @BOXfamilystudy participants like you. We are so grateful for every sample pack we receive.

[Kirsty Pearson @MrsPTweeting]

I’ve been a part of a Diabetes research programme since diagnosis in 1996. Every now and then myself, my siblings and other family members submit completed questionnaires or samples for analysis. Sent off new blood samples today. @BOXfamilystudy #campaignforacure #type1diabetes

Talked about the efforts we undertake at @UoB_LearningRes to reduce plastic use and embed sustainability in our research. This year we participated in @LEAFinLabs pilot and were awarded Gold!
