Researchers are trying to understand why women with type 1 diabetes sometimes develop polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)—a condition where the ovaries produce too many male hormones, causing irregular periods and other health issues. This study will compare women with type 1 diabetes who have PCOS, women with type 1 diabetes who don't have PCOS, women with PCOS alone, and men with type 1 diabetes to figure out what genetic and metabolic factors cause this connection.
Scientists discovered over 20 years ago that women with type 1 diabetes have a much higher rate of PCOS than expected, but they still don't fully understand why. This research aims to find the genetic and biological mechanisms behind this link so doctors can better diagnose and treat women living with both conditions.

You would visit the research hospital for evaluation and provide blood samples so researchers can study your hormones, genes, and metabolism. The study compares four groups: women with type 1 diabetes and PCOS, women with type 1 diabetes without PCOS, women with PCOS alone, and men with type 1 diabetes, all of similar age and body size. Your glucose monitoring data from the past month will also be reviewed to understand how well your diabetes is controlled.
