Metabolic Characteristics of Lean Diabetes in Rural and Semi-urban India and in the United States
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Pancreatic Clamp for Malnutrition; Diabetes and Diabetes. Completed, enrolled 100 participants.
Detailed Summary
This purpose of this study is to define the metabolic characteristics of individuals with Lean Diabetes. We aim to determine whether differences in body composition, including any differences in lipid (fat) deposition, exist compared to individuals with either known forms of diabetes (eg, type 1 and type 2), or individuals without diabetes. Diabetes affects the ability of the body to process glucose (sugar). Therefore, we also plan to investigate the ability of the hormone insulin to regulate changes in glucose in these individuals. Developing a greater understanding of the features of this condition could have tremendous therapeutic benefit for these individuals.
