About Monitoring Autoimmunity in Diabetes 

The purpose of the "Monitoring Autoimmunity in Diabetes" study is to look at changes in the body that may occur with the development of type 1 diabetes. The samples taken as part of this study will be used to look at various genes, cells, and factors, which may be associated with type 1 diabetes and the immune system. These will be used to study why some people are at higher risk for developing diabetes and what happens to the immune system with the development of the disease.

Participants may also qualify and be asked to participate in a separate clinical study that uses a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique to noninvasively image insulitis (the destructive process in the pancreas that leads to loss of insulin production).
