Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
The T1DRA study launched just over a year ago and we have been going from strength to strength. We are gathering some very interesting data that will lead to a better understanding of type 1 diabetes in adulthood.
For more information please read our December Newsletter.
If you have any sample kits at home, please avoid collecting and posting them during the Christmas week as our laboratory will be closed. We look forward to receiving them after January 6th.
Thank you for your help towards diabetes research.
Since launching in November 2023, we’ve now reached over 6000 participants signed up to T1DRA! 
During this time, the team has been working hard to send out kits, test thousands of blood samples and get the results out to each participant, with some participants now being involved in further tests such as urine, HbA1c and mouth brush samples.
This is fantastic progress for the study and already generating a lot of really interesting data on autoantibodies in the general population. But we still have a long way to go to hit our target of 20,000 people. With this in mind, we’ve teamed up with SciTube to create the following outreach video, to explain more about what T1DRA is and how people can get involved.

We are the worlds first research study to screen adults in the general population for type 1 diabetes.
