There has been a push to catch Type 1 diabetes before diabetic ketoacidosis sets in, but some researchers wonder if we should be catching Type 1 years before symptoms appear.

Dr. Insel shared the findings of a large study published in Diabetes Care which found that biomarkers for Type 1 diabetes often could be found years before those with Type 1 showed symptoms.
