Date of birth/date of diagnosis/transient/permanent/ongoing
Circumstances/symptoms/doctor/hospital at diagnosis
Details of any autoantibody or C-peptide testing ever done
Clinical/laboratory characteristics at diagnosis (hemoglobin A1c/ glucose/pH/bicarbonate levels)

2. Other medical history (initial collection, with updates through interval survey)

Race/ethnicity/possible consanguinity
