Evaluating the Effects of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists on Hepatic Function in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes (ELEGANT-T1D)

The goal of this study is to learn how certain medicines, like Ozempic and Mounjaro, affect the liver in people with type 1 diabetes. We are especially looking at a liver disease called MASLD (MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease), which happens when the liver builds up too much fat.


Why this Research Matters

You will complete questionnaires about your health and lifestyle, have blood drawn, and complete a liver ultrasound. You will participate in either a 1-time visit or be followed for up to 1 year (if intending to start a GLP-1 medication, like Ozempic or Mounjaro). Please reach out to Scott Maclean at scott.2.maclean@cuanschutz.edu or 303-724-8348 or complete the following survey: https://redcap.link/elegant_t1d_prescreen.
