Type 1 Diabetes in Acute Pancreatitis in Diabetes Patients at Stanford
Official title: The Stanford Clinical Center for the Study of Type 1 Diabetes in Acute Pancreatitis
Funded at Stanford University · NIH-11415208 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A Stanford-led project helps people with brittle type 1 diabetes who also experience pancreatitis by following them in a long-term study to understand how acute pancreatitis affects diabetes.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults with brittle type 1 diabetes who may participate in DREAM cohort activities and related testing arms.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not fitting the study's adult brittle diabetes population or not consenting to observational follow-up and ancillary testing may not benefit.
What this research studies
This grant funds Stanford to continue joining a nationwide group studying how acute pancreatitis interacts with type 1 diabetes. Participants are followed over time in the DREAM study, with optional testing like mixed meals, frequent glucose tests, and MRI imaging to gather comprehensive data. A multidisciplinary team will analyze immune and metabolic signals to uncover mechanisms linking pancreatitis and diabetes and prepare future ancillary studies. The effort aims to build a rich resource for understanding brittle diabetes in the context of pancreatitis and to inform better management strategies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could benefit from improved understanding and eventual advances in managing brittle diabetes when pancreatitis occurs.
How similar studies have gone: Previous DREAM-type cohorts have yielded actionable insights into diabetes-pancreatitis interactions, but this renewal continues to build on that foundation with additional imaging and immune analyses.
