| | Diabetes Care: Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. @ HighBeam Research |
| | Because we now have the ability to predict the development of type 1 diabetes in some people, investigators have begun to explore the use of intervention therapy to halt or even prevent [beta]-cell destruction in such individuals. | | | Information about ongoing studies should be easily obtainable. | | | The general consensus from the meeting was that indeed there is methodology that can identify, with near certainty among first-degree relatives of type 1 diabetic patients, those who will develop diabetes and that immune intervention therapy before the onset of symptoms might prevent the disease from occurring. |
