Blood test to detect early type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a simple blood test that looks for tiny particles from your cells to find early signs of type 2 diabetes. If you are in your 40s or 50s and live in Hong Kong, this could help you learn about your risk before symptoms appear.
