This study looks at how genetic risk relates to developing type 2 diabetes, using information from a biobank and body measurements like weight. It may help researchers better identify who is at higher risk before diabetes starts.
This study tests a sleep apnea treatment approach and looks at how it may affect your body’s metabolism. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with sleep apnea and meet health and medication rules, and possibly if you already use a PAP machine regularly.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and diet relate to obesity and type 2 diabetes in people living in New Caledonia. It may help find better ways to prevent or treat these conditions.
This trial is studying people with certain types of diabetes, including diabetes that starts after age 30 or in pregnancy, to help improve clinical care. You may be invited if your diabetes type fits the study’s genetic and antibody criteria.
This study checks how stopping CPAP treatment for a short time affects glucose levels in people with sleep apnea who do not have diabetes. It may help find out if sleep apnea is linked to blood sugar problems.
This study looks at how the body adapts in people with different body weights and insulin sensitivity. It compares lean adults and those with obesity, with or without insulin resistance, to understand metabolism better. Participation involves a few visits and some tests.
