Kenzi Nelson never wanted her youngest daughter, Emma, to experience type 1 diabetes the way her older daughter had—with a diagnosis that came after months of symptoms and a frightening bout of DKA.
So when Emma was born, Kenzi knew she wanted to know her daughter’s risk early. After screening Emma with T1D Scout, the family was able to connect with an endocrinologist, monitor her closely, and prepare for what might come next.
Just one month after receiving her T1D Scout results, Emma started insulin. Instead of discovering T1D through an emergency room visit and DKA, her family was able to enter this new chapter with awareness and a plan.
For Kenzi, that made all the difference.
