Summary

This study looks at how fat buildup in the pancreas (pancreatic steatosis) is connected to type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Researchers will use a special ultrasound technique to measure the fat and see how it relates to the cells that make insulin. The goal is to better understand who is at risk for diabetes and how to prevent it. The study involves 100 adults aged 18 to 80 who are already scheduled for an endoscopic ultrasound for other reasons.
