Description:

Diabetes Prediction in Skåne, DiPiS aims to investigate why children develop diabetes type 1. By being able to predict which children who will develop diabetes, it may be possible in the future to prevent the disease from breaking out. DiPiS are carried out in two steps:
Step 1. Investigation of hereditary risk for diabetes type 1 in all new born children in Scania. This step continued from September 2000 to September 2004. In this step almost 36,000 children.
Step 2.. Follow up in a group of children with hereditary risk. Participants in the follow up study lefts a blood sample and answer a questionnaire one time per year.The plan is to follow these children up to 15 years of age.
