Study to Better Understand Rare or Atypical Forms of Diabetes
If your doctor has told you that you have diabetes, but it doesn’t seem like type 1 or type 2, you might be able to join our study. The goal of this study is to better understand different kinds of diabetes that are not common.
Why this Research Matters
People with atypical diabetes may have traits that don’t quite fit type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or they have traits of both. Help us learn more about all types of diabetes.
The study has three parts. First, you’ll fill out online surveys about your health, diabetes, and family history. If you qualify, someone from our team will call you to explain the study and answer your questions. Then, you’ll give a small amount of your blood by either pricking your finger at home or by going to a local lab. In the next parts of the study, you may be invited to visit our clinic, share your medical records (if you agree), fill out more surveys, and give more of your blood. Your blood will be used for genetic testing and other lab tests to help us learn more about your diabetes.
The online surveys in the first part of the study take about 2 hours. You don’t have to finish the surveys all at once, and someone from our team will help if you have any questions. If you finish the entire study, it will take up to three years.
If your doctor has told you that you have diabetes, but it doesn't seem like type 1 or type 2, you might be able to join our study.
You will get $150 if you finish the study.
