We received the results back from the TrialNet study that the kids and I all had our blood drawn for back in January. Kyle, Mindy, Sandra, and I all came back as being negative for the 3 kinds of autoantibodies they were testing for. Cammie on the other hand was positive for 1 of the 3. She will be re-tested the beginning of April, just as a pre-caution to make sure there was not a lab error. We will know the results, the end of May.
If she really is positive, then there will be more tests run on her, to come up a likelihood of her developing Type 1 Diabetes within a certain time frame. Depending on the results of this, we may have the opportunity to enroll her in some more studies that track the development of the disease. This does not mean that she for sure will ever develop it either, as lots of people can be positive for these autoantibodies, but never develop the disease.
