This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. There are an increasing number of studies across the country testing various drugs and other intervention to see if diabetes have be prevented or its progression delayed. Stanford University is involved in some of the studies (separate IRB protocols) because it is a NIH-funded center in the Diabetes TrialNet. As such our GCRC staff has substantial experience in conducting the tests used to monitor diabetes progression. As such, the GCRC is occasionally requested to perform some of these tests for subjects enrolled in studies at other sites. One such request has arrived. The parents of a child enrolled in a Texas based study do not wish to fly to Texas during the current geopolitical unrest and request we do a mixed meal tolerance test. I have written this GCRC request a bit more broadly to cover future similar occurrences requiring this and similar tests. Please note that this applicant is strictly for testing in subjects ALREADY enrolled in specific protocol elsewhere. We are NOT to consent them for the primary trial, this will have already been done. As such, there are no statistical sections or background information. This is essentially a compassionate use protocol.
