[Breakthrough T1D @BreakthroughT1D]

We applaud @RepKimSchrier and @RepJohnJoyce and @SenatorShaheen and @SenatorCollins for introducing the Strengthening Collective Resources for Encouraging Education Needed (SCREEN) for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) Act of 2026. The bipartisan legislation aims to increase awareness and improve early detection of T1D. 

Screening and early detection of T1D can save lives, help people make important decisions about their health, and potentially change the course of this disease. 

Too often, children and adults are diagnosed only after becoming critically ill. Screening for T1D can be done through a simple blood test, and ongoing monitoring can help families avoid medical emergencies and take action sooner.
