New study aims to unravel the mystery of PCOS in women with type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT07490964
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates why women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) frequently develop polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition of high androgen levels. Researchers will compare five groups of 12 participants each, including women with T1D and PCOS, women with T1D alone, men with T1D, women with PCOS alone, and healthy controls. They will measure insulin sensitivity, body composition, hormone levels, and genetic markers to uncover the underlying mechanisms.
