First seen May 21, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looks at how growth hormone affects beta-cells, which make insulin, in people with a family history of type 2 diabetes. Researchers will compare 30 obese adults with and without a family history of diabetes. The goal is to better understand why some people develop diabetes, not to test a new treatment.
