Screening for islet-specific autoantibodies can identify individuals at risk type 1 diabetes (T1D). Despite calls increased nationwide autoantibody screening efforts, it is unclear how many have participated in among people who may benefit from it. Moreover, knowledge and perceptions of real-world samples are not well understood.
