Why Get Tested
425 million adults are estimated to have diabetes with around 8 million thought to have Type 1 Diabetes. A further 1 in 2 people remain undiagnosed.
Genetics is a major risk factor for developing Type 1 Diabetes. Despite this only 10% of people with Type 1 Diabetes have a family member affected making it difficult to identify those at high risk of developing the condition without testing. Furthermore, up to half of all Type 1 Diabetes cases occur in adulthood.
Screen for up to 10 genetic variants from a simple blood sample to calculate your unique genetic risk score. Based on this score you will be classified as high risk or low risk of developing the disease in the future.
