Sanofi launches "The 1 Pledge" to promote early type one diabetes screening through antibody tests.

Early screening for type one diabetes (T1D) is essential for detecting the disease before severe complications arise. Sanofi launched "The 1 Pledge" to encourage testing for four islet autoantibodies, which can predict T1D development, reducing the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis. Early screening is vital for both children and adults, as T1D can develop at any age. Family members have a 15 times higher risk of developing T1D and should consider screening, especially if they have autoimmune conditions or exhibit glycemic symptoms.
