Understanding and improving treatment for diabetes in young people
Official title: Limited Competition: Continued Follow-up of Subjects and Initiation of a Second Case-control Cohort in The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in The Young Study (TEDDY)
Funded at University of South Florida · NIH-11143544 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is working to create a helpful set of guidelines to better understand and treat Type 1 Diabetes in young people, and it hopes to share what it learns with those managing Type 2 Diabetes too, so everyone can benefit from improved care and personalized treatment options.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research include young individuals diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
✕Less likely to help
Patients with diabetes types other than Type 1, such as Type 2 Diabetes, may not receive direct benefits from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing existing resources to develop a comprehensive set of common data elements (CDEs) that will improve the understanding and treatment of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in young individuals. By collaborating with various T1D consortia, the project aims to ensure the adoption and compliance of these CDEs, which will facilitate better characterization of the disease. The findings will also be shared with the Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) community to promote broader understanding and application. Patients may benefit from improved treatment strategies and a more personalized approach to managing their diabetes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better treatment options and management strategies for young patients with diabetes.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown success in developing common data elements for diabetes management, indicating a promising approach for this project.
