Read our Type 1 Diabetes research guide →This research study is trying to understand why some people develop type 1 diabetes while others don't. Researchers will examine immune cells called lymphocytes from people with type 1 diabetes, people with other types of diabetes or autoimmune conditions, and people without these diseases. By comparing these cells, scientists hope to discover new clues about what causes type 1 diabetes and how to better diagnose and treat it.
Currently, doctors don't fully understand the differences in immune cells between people with type 1 diabetes and those without the disease. This knowledge gap makes it harder to develop better treatments and to predict who might develop type 1 diabetes in the future.

If you qualify, you would participate as part of your planned abdominal surgery. Researchers would collect a small sample of lymph nodes (small immune glands) that are being removed during your surgery anyway as treatment for another condition. These tissue samples would then be studied in the laboratory to examine your immune cells. There are no additional visits or procedures required beyond your already-planned surgery.
