Plain-English translation of NCT06141434 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ ·
Researchers want to understand how pregnancy—especially when the mother, father, or sibling has type 1 diabetes—might affect a baby's risk of developing diabetes later in life. This is an observational study, meaning researchers will track pregnancies and collect health information, surveys, and blood samples from babies to look for early signs of diabetes-related immune changes. No medication or intervention is being tested.
Type 1 diabetes runs in families, but scientists don't fully understand how pregnancy and family history influence whether a baby will develop the condition. By following pregnancies and babies from high-risk families, researchers hope to identify early warning signs and eventually find better ways to prevent or delay type 1 diabetes.

You will complete online surveys and questionnaires about your pregnancy and health history through a secure database that you can access from home or the clinic. Your baby will have blood samples collected at birth and at intervals during early childhood to check for immune system markers linked to diabetes. The study involves no medication or intervention—researchers are simply observing and collecting information to understand the connection between family diabetes history and early immune changes in babies.
