A fantastic achievement for the INGR1D2 trial especially in the week celebrating world diabetes day. A huge thanks to the 1486 babies (and their parents) from @Gateshead_NHS who have been recruited to the study so far contributing to this vital research. @ChristineMC212

We've now recruited 20,000 babies to our INGR1D2 trial! The trial identifies babies at risk of type 1 diabetes through routine bloodspot screening, so no extra tests are required. Huge thanks to everyone who has been involved! #WorldDiabetesDay 👉bit.ly/3USDUBU
The title of this infographic is "the INGRID2 trial is identifying babies at risk of type 1 diabetes". On the left, there are three facts: 20,000 babies recruited to date 11 hospitals running the trial. More sites to open in Jan 2025 309 babies identified as at risk of type 1 diabetes to date. On the left, there is feedback from people whose baby has taken part in the trial: “Felt like we were contributing to something important and also benefiting from it.” “The research staff was very understanding and helped with questions I may have had.” “Two researchers came to chat to me and gave me time to read on my own. The consent process was not rushed and was at a calm point when I wasn’t distracted with the baby.” Along the bottom, the text reads: We’re part of the Global Platform for the Prevention of Autoimmune Diabetes (GPPAD). The platform aims to establish an international infrastructure for studies dedicated to preventing the development of type 1 diabetes.
