Type 1 diabetes can be detected years before symptoms appear. Mail-in test kits are available to every family in the U.S. No insurance required. No clinic visit needed.
40% of children in the U.S. are already in life-threatening DKA by the time Type 1 diabetes is diagnosed. Screening before symptoms appear is the difference between a managed condition and a medical emergency. This is the most important thing you can do as a parent.
Every one of these kits ships nationwide and costs you nothing.

In-office or at-home screening.
A positive screening result doesn't mean your child has diabetes today. It means their immune system has started the process — and catching it early means you can monitor, prepare, and prevent DKA. A negative result means peace of mind. Either way, you have information that could save your child's life.
Even before screening, every parent should know the warning signs of Type 1 diabetes.
