Diabetes after Acute Pancreatitis Clinic
Official title: UPMC Clinical Center for the Study of Diabetes after Acute Pancreatitis
Funded at University of Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh · NIH-11232968 · Data updated 2026-11-12
Researchers are following people who've had acute pancreatitis to learn how changes in blood sugar lead to diabetes.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are adults who recently experienced acute pancreatitis and are willing to attend follow-up visits and provide blood or other samples.
✕Less likely to help
People without a history of acute pancreatitis or those who already have long-standing diabetes unrelated to pancreatitis may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
If I join, the team will follow me after my acute pancreatitis and regularly check my blood sugar, insulin, and other health measures. They will collect blood and other samples and store data to study how my pancreas and beta cells are working. The center enrolls people in the DREAM study and related studies and uses clinical visits, lab tests, and data analysis to link what they find to later diabetes. The goal is to identify who is at highest risk and what biological changes lead to diabetes after pancreatitis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could help detect and treat diabetes earlier in people who have had pancreatitis, reducing complications.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has linked pancreatitis to later diabetes but this coordinated clinical center approach is relatively new and aims to produce more definitive, clinically useful answers.
