Zusammenfassung Prädiktion und Prävention des Typ-1-Diabetes bilden den Rahmen für die Diskussion, ob ein Antikörperscreening Teil der Regelversorgung werden sollte. Der Inselautoantikörpertest charakterisiert nicht die Stoffwechselsituation, sondern ist eine Momentaufnahme von Autoimmunität und ermöglicht eine Prognose des künftigen Typ-1-Diabetes...
