The ELSA study is screening children for Type 1 Diabetes.
Any child aged 3-13 years can do a simple finger stick blood test (much like the one they had when they were a baby) to find out their risk of developing type 1 diabetes in the future.
For more information, please see the ELSA Research website.
The ELSA study aims to find children at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes because the sooner we screen, the sooner we can intervene.
Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong and serious condition. Around the world, research studies are screening children for type 1 diabetes, so that we can find children at risk of the condition before they become unwell. This gives us the opportunity to test new treatments that could delay the start of type 1 diabetes.
Paramedics from the research team are coming to Hedge End Medical Centre on Monday 23rd October 2023 to undertake this screening. You will have received a time slot on your invitation text message.
