Read our Type 2 Diabetes research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing how well your pancreas can produce insulin — the hormone that helps control blood sugar — by measuring your body's response after you drink a meal replacement shake. Researchers want to understand pancreatic insulin production capacity (PIPC) in people with type 2 diabetes who are not currently taking insulin injections. This information could help doctors better understand how your pancreas is working and guide future treatment decisions.
Many people with type 2 diabetes still have a pancreas that can make some insulin, but doctors don't have a simple way to measure how much your pancreas can actually produce. By testing your insulin response to a standardized meal, this study aims to develop a feasible method that could help personalize diabetes care.

You would come in for a single study visit that lasts about 2 hours in the morning after fasting since midnight. During the visit, you'll drink a Boost Original meal replacement shake, and the researchers will draw blood samples at five different time points to measure how your pancreas responds and produces insulin. That's it — it's a one-time appointment with no ongoing visits or medication to take at home.
