The incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in Sardinia is among the highest in the world (44.8 cases/100,000 person‐years). Recommendations of the Immunology of Diabetes Society advise evaluating autoantibody positivity in first‐degree relatives (FDRs) of patients with T1DM, for their higher risk to develop the disease. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of beta‐cell autoimmunity in FDRs of T1DM patients in Sardinia.
