HVN Antidiabetic Metadata Record - The effect of antidiabetic drugs on the metabolism of peripheral blood immune cells

This metadata record and it's attached files make statements about the kinds of data collected as part of this research, and set out policies for governance of that data, now and in the future.Description: The objective of this study is to investigate whether or not antidiabetic drugs influence the cellular metabolism of peripheral blood immune cells. Blood samples of up to 100 participants with type 2 diabetes will be collected before and around 12 weeks after starting a new antidiabetic treatment. Blood samples will be analysed to determine if there is a correlation between successful anti-diabetic treatment, as assessed by decreased HbA1c and/or fasting plasma glucose, and any of the immunometabolic outcomes. Secondary analyses will explore whether the different anti-diabetic treatments influence cellular immunometabolism in different ways.
