Could a simple test spot diabetes before it starts?
NCT ID NCT05505669
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking for biological markers (biomarkers) in blood, saliva, and urine that signal damage to insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Researchers will compare samples from people with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand how diabetes develops and find ways to diagnose it earlier.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors detect diabetes earlier and develop new treatments that protect or repair insulin-producing cells.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find clear biomarkers, and any discoveries would need years of further research before helping patients.
