The purpose of this study is to identify people with T1D or celiac disease (CD) early in the course of their disease and to improve the methods of screening for these diseases.
The study will screen people who may be at risk for T1D because they have at least one person in the family with probable T1D. It can be a parent or a sibling. It can also be a second-degree relative, like nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, grandchildren, or cousins. A relative of someone with T1D is at a higher risk of getting the disease as they are people with other autoimmune diseases. It is possible to detect T1D or CD before it shows any symptoms of high blood sugar. Sometimes, particularly in people who develop T1D in adult life, the disease is misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes. The treatment and care for the two diseases are different.

| Blood Draw | Other | We will draw blood to measure islet-related autoantibodies and celiac disease markers with a combined research method, blood sugar, C-peptide (an indicator of insulin production that controls sugar levels) and hemoglobin A1c. Additional blood will be collected for the study of biomarkers of T1D and for long-term storage for potential future use. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Blood sample will be drawn for islet-related autoantibodies | A blood sample will be drawn for islet-related autoantibodies. The initial autoantibody measurement will be done with the ECL research method which detects multiple autoantibodies at once. Positive results will be confirmed with a RBA validated for clinical use. | Visit 1 (1 day, 1-2 hours)- Only visit for the entire study. |

Children > 2 years and adults at elevated risk of developing (or having misdiagnosed) clinically evident Stage 3 T1D because they have at least one of the following:
i. have one or more first- or second-degree family members (siblings, parents, cousins, aunts/uncles, grandparents) diagnosed with type 1 diabetes or ii. have other autoimmune diseases such as but not limited to celiac disease, Multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis or, thyroid disease or iii. Those diagnosed with other forms of diabetes which are suspected of being T1D because of a BMI ≤28 or progression to insulin dependence within 3 years from diagnosis.

The targeted study population is categorized as vulnerable.
Cognitively Impaired Adults: Cognitively impaired adults will be evaluated case to case. For example, a high functioning person with Trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome) could be a possible participant, since they are at high risk of diabetes.
Children: above the age of two with a sibling, parent, or other first or second-degree relatives with T1D or children with another other autoimmune diseases will be able to participate. Participation involves minimal risk (not greater than that encountered for clinical purposes) with the prospect of individual benefit.
Pregnant Women: Participation involves minimal risk (not greater than that encountered for clinical purposes) with the prospect of individual benefit.
