Diabetes Clinical Research: Finding a Cure

Currently Enrolling T1D Studies

TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study

For individuals between the ages of 2.5-45 years with a first-degree relative (parent, child, sibling) with type 1 diabetes
For individuals between the ages of 2.5-20 years with a second-degree relative (grandparent, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, cousin or half-sibling) with type 1 diabetes

Purpose: To identify individuals at-risk for T1D and offer close monitoring for disease progression as well as potential prevention study opportunities.

Dexcom COACH Device Study for Children and Adolescents with T1D and T2D

For individuals ages 2-17
Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes or insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes
Has NOT used a Continuous Glucose Monitoring device (CGM) in the last year

Purpose: To evaluate the safety of non-adjunctive CGM use in CGM naive participants, by assessing the number of hypoglycemic and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) events with use of CGM
