Private screening for early type 1 diabetes
At London Medical, our early type 1 diabetes screening is consultant-led. This means your care is guided by London’s leading diabetes specialists.
Screening involves a simple blood test to check for markers called autoantibodies. If two or more autoantibodies are present, your risk of developing type 1 diabetes is much higher. Knowing this early gives you time to plan and take steps to protect you or your loved one’s health.
If you’re found to be at risk, we offer a treatment called immunotherapy which delays the onset of type 1 diabetes. This is delivered in partnership with Cromwell Hospital in Kensington.
Why choose us?
Complete care: If you’re at risk, we can provide immunotherapy to help delay type 1 diabetes – available exclusively at London Medical in the UK.
Care for all ages: We offer screening and treatment for both children and adults.
Unparalleled expertise: Your care is guided by the UK’s leading diabetes specialists at one of London’s busiest private diabetes clinics.
Next steps
When you get in touch about screening, we’ll first make sure you meet the eligibility criteria.
The screening itself is straightforward: a simple blood test. Your results will be reviewed by one of our diabetes specialists, and, if you’re found to be at risk, we’ll invite you for a follow-up consultation to talk through your options. This may include:
- regular monitoring
- advice on managing early type 1 diabetes
- participation in clinical trials
- immunotherapy
Immunotherapy helps delay the onset of type 1 diabetes. You can learn more about how this treatment works on our blog.
