Understanding diabetes through the pancreas
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study explores how the pancreas and diabetes are connected by examining people with different pancreatic conditions. It aims to find new ways to treat or prevent diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows patients with diabetes who are having surgery to remove part or all of their pancreas (usually for cancer or benign disease). Researchers will track how the surgery affects blood sugar control, weight, and overall health over time.
This study uses a special blood-sugar test (a mixed meal) to better diagnose and understand diabetes related to pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis, and to compare it with other diabetes types. It may help researchers find clearer ways to tell these diabetes causes apart and understand how they work.
This study examines how the pancreas works in people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will assess pancreatic function to better understand early diabetes and potentially improve treatment.
This study looks at how blood sugar and certain hormones change in people who have both chronic pancreatitis and diabetes. It aims to understand these patterns better, which might help design future treatments.
This study follows patients who are having part or all of their pancreas removed due to disease. Researchers want to understand how this surgery affects blood sugar control, weight, and overall health in people without diabetes before surgery.
This study looks at blood “markers” to find early signs or higher risk for pancreatic cancer. You may join if you have certain risk factors (like new diabetes, pancreatic cysts/pancreatitis, or a strong family history) and can come to Omaha for blood draws twice a year.
