Young adults with type 2 diabetes and heart health study
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how type 2 diabetes starting in youth affects the heart over time. It also includes teens and young adults who are overweight or lean, and their biological parents, to compare heart health across these groups.
