What this study is testing ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01825148 ↗

Description as written by the study sponsor.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether there are differences in pancreatic uptake of the radiotracer between healthy individuals and patients with type 1 diabetes. If T1D patients have a markedly reduced uptake, the compound may be suitable for estimation of pancreatic beta cell mass, i.e. the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.
