Blood test study to track markers in diabetes
This study measures “circulating biomarkers” (blood-based signals) in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and in some people without diabetes who test positive for certain diabetes antibodies. The goal is to understand what these blood signals can tell us about diabetes development and progression.

What taking part in a diabetes study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
