Researchers want to understand whether the chemicals your body releases through your breath change throughout the day, and whether those patterns are different in people with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or no diabetes. This study will measure exhaled compounds in 60 people across three groups to look for these daily patterns.
Scientists think breath chemicals might be a simple, non-invasive way to help understand diabetes and how the body's daily rhythms work differently in people with diabetes compared to those without it.

You would visit the study site during daytime hours to have your breath measured using a special device that detects chemicals in what you exhale. The study compares people without diabetes to those with type 1 and type 2 diabetes to see if there are daily patterns in these breath compounds. There are no medications to take — you simply complete the breathing test during your visit.
