Scientists investigate hidden hormone disorder in women with type 1 diabetes

This study looks at why women with type 1 diabetes are more likely to develop polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and high levels of male hormones. Researchers will compare 60 participants across five groups, including women with and without diabetes and PCOS, as well as men with diabetes. They will measure insulin sensitivity, body fat, hormone levels, and genetic differences to uncover the root causes. The goal is to understand the mechanisms, not to test a new treatment.
