From Awareness to Action: Shining a Light on Presymptomatic Type 1 Diabetes

The symposium will provide a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) early detection, pathophysiology of autoimmune T1D and disease progression, and explore early intervention options. With growing recognition that T1D follows a predictable autoimmune progression, this session highlights the importance of identifying at-risk individuals before the onset of symptomatic disease, paving the way for early management and emerging therapeutic strategies.

At the end of this session participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the autoimmune pathophysiology of autoimmune T1D and how disease progression can be quantified
  2. Explore the clinical value of screening and how to identify people at increased risk of autoimmune T1D
  3. Discuss the clinical management of people with early-stage autoimmune T1D, including emerging therapeutic options
