Brief description of study

Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine are conducting a study to find out how many people with acute pancreatitis develop diabetes. Diabetes is a known complication of acute pancreatitis. For some people, diabetes can last a few weeks after acute pancreatitis, but for others, it can appear a year or more after having acute pancreatitis. No one knows why some people go on to develop diabetes while others don't.
 
People with acute pancreatitis will be compared to people who already had diabetes before their acute pancreatitis attack to better understand diabetes after acute pancreatitis and whod risk of developing it, as well as the different types of diabetes. 

THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - potentially eligible participants will be recruited from multiple IU health and Eskenazi health locations and contacted directly by the study team only.
