Research summary
The aim of this study is to provide long term follow up information on people who have previously taken part in a TrialNet study. Participants will be invited to join this study at the end of an intervention trial or when they are diagnosed with diabetes in either the TrialNet Natural History study or another TrialNet intervention study.
The long term effects of receiving an intervention or of being diagnosed with diabetes at an early point in the disease process will be studied. This will help fill the gaps in knowledge about what changes occur around the time of diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and beyond, and the impact of pre-diabetes values to post-diagnosis clinical course.
Study visits will be either annual or semi annual and will involve a Mixed Meal tolerance test or an oral glucose tolerance test depending on participant c-peptide and diabetes status on entry to the study.
As the study is designed to give long term follow up information an end date has not been set and participants can stay in follow up as long as LIFT continues.REC name
