Understanding diabetes risk after acute pancreatitis
Diabetes RElated to Acute Pancreatitis and its Mechanisms: Metabolic Outcomes Using Novel CGM Metrics (DREAM-ON)
['FUNDING_R01'] · PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIV HERSHEY MED CTR · NIH-11066457
This study is looking at how having acute pancreatitis might increase the chances of developing diabetes, and it’s for people who have experienced pancreatitis; researchers will use special devices to track blood sugar levels to learn more about this connection and help improve care for patients.

What this research studies
This research investigates how acute pancreatitis can lead to diabetes by examining various mechanisms involved in this process. It aims to identify the risk factors and natural history of diabetes development following acute pancreatitis episodes. The study will utilize continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics to gather detailed metabolic data from participants. By understanding these relationships, the research seeks to improve patient care and outcomes for those affected by both conditions.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals aged 21 and older who have had one or more episodes of acute pancreatitis.
Not a fit: Patients who have not experienced acute pancreatitis or those under 21 years old may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better prevention and management strategies for diabetes in patients who have experienced acute pancreatitis.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has indicated a significant link between acute pancreatitis and increased diabetes risk, suggesting that this study builds on established findings.
