The Clinical Research Centre at the Medical University of Bialystok is continuing to recruit people at elevated risk of diabetes for its “Zatrzymaj cukrzycę” study, according to Nauka w Polsce. The report cites National Health Fund (NFZ) data estimating that about 3.5 million people in Poland have diagnosed diabetes.
The study is intended to help develop new diabetes treatments and earlier detection methods. Nauka w Polsce reported that people with overweight, obesity or a family history of diabetes are among those who may apply. Professor Adam Krętowski, who heads the centre, said applicants receive detailed examinations.
The same NFZ figures, as cited by the outlet, show diagnosed diabetes cases rising by more than 27% in Poland over nine years. That scale gives the recruitment a clear public-health context, but it does not turn participation in the study into a treatment offer.
UMB’s continuing recruitment is news about an active research effort and an opportunity for eligible higher-risk people to seek information from the centre. The available report does not describe the study design, participant numbers, endpoints, results or full enrolment process, so it offers no basis for claims that the project has already prevented diabetes or produced an effective treatment.
