Abstract
The subject invention concerns a process for the early detection of insulin dependent diabetes (IDD). The process described here enables the detection of the onset of IDD before clinical symptoms appear. The process involves the detection, in a sample of biological fluid, of an autoantibody which is highly specific to individuals who will later develop the clinical manifestations of IDD. Novel treatments for the prevention of IDD are also described.
