BACKGROUND Advances in understanding of type 1 diabetes (T1D) natural history have enabled screening for islet autoantibodies and the detection of pre-symptomatic (early-stage T1D) prior to clinical presentation and the need for insulin replacement therapy. As screening programs expand, increasing numbers of children are being identified with early-stage T1D creating a pressing need for relevant, accessible, evidence-based educational resources. Due to the rapidly changing paradigm of T1D care in such settings, many healthcare professionals currently lack awareness or guidance on which educational resources to recommend to families. To date, no review has systematically identified and evaluated educational resources for families navigating early-stage T1D or healthcare professionals supporting them. OBJECTIVE This scoping review aims to: (1) systematically identify and evaluate educational resources for early-stage T1D, (2) assess their readability, understandability, quality, and credibility, (3) create an inventory of resources consistent with current care and health literacy guidelines, and (4) identify resource gaps and priorities for future development. METHODS A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed and grey literature databases (MEDLINE, Google, professional organizations, advocacy groups, research consortiums, and screening programs) will be conducted to identify English-language resources (factsheets, websites, videos, infographics). Eligible resources will undergo standardised assessment using validated tools for readability, understandability, information quality, and credibility. RESULTS Expected outputs include descriptive summaries and structured appraisal findings across readability, understandability, information quality, and credibility. The review will begin in March 2026, with completion expected by August 2026. CONCLUSIONS This paper presents the protocol for the first scoping review to systematically compile and appraise educational resources for early-stage T1D. The findings will offer a clear overview of the current resource landscape, identify gaps, and provide a foundation for future development and co design of fit for purpose materials.
