Indiana University center for diabetes after acute pancreatitis
Indiana University clinical Center for acute pancreatitis and diabetes clinical research network
This project follows adults who've had acute pancreatitis to find out how and why some develop diabetes afterward.

What this research studies
If you join, you'll be enrolled after a recent episode of acute pancreatitis and have regular blood tests to check blood sugar, insulin, and immune markers, along with imaging and genetic sampling. The team collects clinical information, biospecimens, and scans over time to see who develops diabetes and what type it is. Visits and tests are repeated so researchers can track changes in beta cell function, immune activity, and insulin resistance. The goal is to link these measurements to symptoms and scans to improve future care for people like you.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults (age 21 and older) who recently experienced an episode of acute pancreatitis are the ideal candidates for this project.
Not a fit: People who never had acute pancreatitis or who already had established, long-standing diabetes before their pancreatitis are unlikely to receive direct benefit from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could help doctors detect diabetes earlier after pancreatitis and personalize monitoring and care.
How similar studies have performed: Previous observational studies have shown that diabetes can follow pancreatitis, but combining serial immune, imaging, and genetic testing across a multicenter consortium is relatively new.
