A new model has been developed for predicting which patients with type 1 diabetes will go on to develop major complications, through easily and routinely measured risk factors. "The risk estimates can guide surveillance recommendations, inform patients and allow efficient design and analysis of clinical trials," the author say.

To my surprise you can download both the paper and the 'calculator'.
I haven't read the paper so I don't know what the caveats are so for example age is weighted and that may assume that you have had T1 since youth and aren't one of us late onset varieties.
