Simmons KM, Youngkin E, Alkanani A, et al. - Researchers screened children for type 1 diabetes (T1D) associated antibodies in the Denver, Colorado metro area at community health fairs to address the needs to screen diverse ethnic groups in the general population. By evaluating the four prototypical antibodies connected with T1D, children attending health fairs from 2015 to 2018 were given free T1D screening. To collect blood spots on filter paper, a finger stick capillary puncture was performed. Using fluid-phase radio-binding assays, dried blood spots were eluted and antibodies were measured. Children were educated on the signs and symptoms of diabetes at 39 health fairs and screened for antibodies associated with T1D (n = 478), which accounted for 90% of those attending. The authors concluded that screening for T1D danger using dried blood spots on filter paper at community health fairs is viable and offers an avenue for screening kids from ethnically varied backgrounds.
