Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with known or newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes or LADA who can give informed consent and attend the outpatient clinic at IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

People younger than 18 or older than 75, those without T1DM or LADA, or anyone unable or unwilling to provide informed consent are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This is an observational study enrolling 75 adults with type 1 diabetes and 75 adults with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), all aged 18–75 and recruited from the outpatient diabetes center at IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo. Participants undergo a single visit for medical history and blood sample collection to measure pro-oxidant and antioxidant markers (d-ROMs, BAP, OXY-Adsorbent, -SHp, anti-ROMs) using the FREE Duo analyzer. For newly diagnosed (incident) cases a follow-up visit at 3 months will compare changes in HbA1c with changes in the oxidative biomarkers. Secondary analyses will examine associations between biomarkers and glycemic control and whether biomarkers cluster differently by diagnosis.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could identify oxidative stress biomarkers that help distinguish T1DM from LADA and guide more tailored monitoring or interventions.

How similar studies have gone: Oxidative stress markers have been studied broadly in diabetes, but direct head-to-head comparisons between T1DM and LADA are limited, making this a relatively novel comparison.
