Why does the immune system make a mistake? Everyone has some cells that recognize self Type 1 diabetes Multiple Sclerosis More survive Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn s and Colitis) More susceptible to immune damage? Parts of these self mimic true invaders? Rheumatoid Arthritis More are made More are activated Likelihood of Autoimmunity Why do T regulatory cells loose the battle?

Risk in Family members Number of antibodies increased risk Low insulin secretion increased risk Abnormal glucose increased risk Free tests available Question Who should get tested? a. My daughter has type 1 diabetes, my other children should be tested a. I should get tested. My cousin has type 1 diabetes a. I am an adult with type 1 diabetes. My kids are all grown they don t need to be tested. Answer : Who should get tested? X a. My daughter has type 1 diabetes, my other children should be tested. Your other children and you and her dad and aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. X b. I should get tested. My cousin has type 1 diabetes c. I am an adult with type 1 diabetes. My kids are all grown they don t need to be tested. No, half of all type 1 diabetes occurs in adults. If you have a family member up to age 45, they should be tested (including grandkids!) Which family members should be screened? MOM (under age 45) Sisters and Brothers (under age 45) Nieces and Nephews (< age 20) DAD (under age 45) Children (< age 45) Grandchildren (< age 20) Half-sibling < age 20 Aunts and Uncles (< age 20) Cousins < age 20 1 ST 2 nd ST Degree relatives (ages 1-45) nd Degree relatives (ages 1-20) Blood draw ~4% positive Antibodies 1 ST 2 nd ST Degree relatives (ages 1-45) nd Degree relatives (ages 1-20) Blood draw ~4% positive Antibodies Very High Risk AntiCD3 Intermediate Risk Oral Insulin Low Risk Close monitoring Very High Risk Intermediate Risk Oral Insulin Low Risk GAD65-Alum GAD65-Alum

He has been absolutely wonderful about dealing with his diabetes NOTHING stops this child Before we left his Endo appointment this past Wednesday, he says, Mom, what does cure mean? I explained that it means when scientists find out how to stop a disease or problem and then it is gone forever. He looks at me with this silly expression on his face and says, Well, do you think that you can tell my doctor to speed things up a little?
