First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

The EXPAND study is a research project that will enroll 440 adults with and without pancreatic conditions to understand why type 2 diabetes varies so much from person to person. Researchers will collect data on metabolism, genetics, and pancreas health to identify distinct diabetes subtypes. This is an observational study, meaning no new treatments are being tested, but the findings could pave the way for more personalized diabetes care in the future.
