Type 1 Diabetes Risk Home Test Kit

£79.00

Type 1 Diabetes affects around 344, 000 people in the UK, and genetics play a big role. Calculate your unique genetic risk of developing Type 1 Diabetes with our ground-breaking test developed in collaboration with the University of Exeter. By screening for 10 genetic variants associated with the condition, the test calculates a genetic risk score helping to identify those at highest risk of developing Type 1 Diabetes in the future. This early identification of risk allows for further monitoring with autoantibody screening if required and timely intervention with novel drugs like teplizumab to delay or prevent the onset of the condition.

Why should you test

Type 1 Diabetes can develop at any age, and genetics plays a big role, even if it doesn’t run in your family. This simple Type 1 Diabetes blood test screens for up to 10 genetic markers to provide you with a personalised genetic risk score. You’ll find out if you're at higher or lower risk of developing Type 1 Diabetes in the future helping you take control of your health early. Individuals at increased risk have a 1 in 10 to 1 in 40 chance of developing Type 1 Diabetes. Should you develop symptoms of diabetes we recommend contacting a healthcare professional urgently.
