National childhood screening for type 1 diabetes

Three Australian children are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes every day in Australia and one of these three kids will be diagnosed too late – resulting in life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) that requires hospitalisation in intensive care. However, recognition of two early, pre-symptomatic stages allows for early identification and the potential to prevent, or at least delay, type 1 diabetes altogether.
Launching in early 2022, Dr Kirstine Bell – alongside the Charles Perkins Centre’s Professors Maria Craig, Natasha Nassar, Adrienne Gordon, Kirsten Howard and Drs Antonia Shand and Sarah Norris – is leading the first-ever Australian National Screening Program pilot for type 1 diabetes. Funded by JDRF Australia and JDRF International, their vision is to routinely screen all Australian children for type 1 diabetes, to identify children as early as possible, avoid a traumatic diagnosis experience, improve their longterm health and create the window of opportunity to prevent type 1 diabetes.
