Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 16 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population will consist of adult patients diagnosed with diabetes who are receiving care at endocrinology clinics across Pakistan. Participants will be recruited from outpatient diabetes clinics during their routine visits. The population represents a diverse group of individuals from various socioeconomic and demographic backgrounds, reflecting the heterogeneity of diabetes presentation in the region

Who may be able to join

  • Patients of both genders whose age of disease onset was older than 16 years
  • Patients newly diagnosed with or previously diagnosed with T2D
  • Able and willing to provide written informed consent and to comply with the study

Who cannot join

  • Patients with other medical comorbidities (not a complication of diabetes), such as malignancies.
  • Pregnancy

About this study

This study aims to classify adult-onset diabetes patients into distinct data-driven clusters, such as severe insulin-deficient, severe insulin-resistant, mild obesity-related, and mild age-related diabetes, based on clinical and biochemical characteristics. Using a cross-sectional design, data will be collected from individuals attending outpatient diabetes clinics at tertiary care hospitals in Pakistan. The study will analyze the distribution of metabolic and demographic characteristics within each cluster and assess subgroup-specific risks for diabetic complications. Additionally, the relationship between clustering variables and the risk of complications will be evaluated to enhance the understanding of diabetes heterogeneity and its impact on patient outcomes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Classify patients into data-driven clusters (e.g., severe insulin-deficient, severe insulin-resistant, mild obesity-related and mild age-related diabetes).

    Measured: At the time of clinic visit during enrollment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Analyze the distribution of metabolic and demographic characteristics within each cluster.

    Measured: At the time of clinic visit during enrollment

  2. • Assess subgroup-specific risks for diabetic macrovascular complications such as CVD, Stroke/TIA, and microvascular complications such as nephropathy, retinopathy, peripheral and autonomic neuropathy

    Measured: At the time of clinic visit during enrollment

  3. Evaluate the relationship between clustering variables and complications.

    Measured: At the time of clinic visit during enrollment
