Rethinking How We Find Type 1 Diabetes before DKA

The T1D Landscape (00:00 – 14:00): Understanding why relying strictly on family-history screening misses 90% of new T1D cases, and analyzing the clinical and emotional trauma of late-stage diagnosis.

The Primary Care Paradox (14:00 – 23:00): Examining why busy primary care providers hesitate to screen and exploring the stark differences between pediatric and adult onset.

Addressing Screening Barriers (23:00 – 38:00): Detailing how clinical systems can transition from traditional venous blood draws to simple capillary finger-stick testing, and how virtual “hub-and-spoke” monitoring clinics can support primary care without overloading standard clinic capacity.

New Options for Patients Living with T1D (38:00 – 47:00): Unpacking the immense metabolic value of preserving endogenous insulin production, and why delaying Stage 3 onset until the young-adult “frontal lobe” transition window (ages 18–23) dramatically improves long-term self-management.

Audience Q&A & Health Equity (47:00 – End): Reviewing real-world insurance coverage, denial management, and the ethical necessity of ensuring advanced screening workflows reach community clinics and underserved populations.
