What can researchers learn from the diabetes data already collected through CanPath? 🤔💭

📊 Type 2 diabetes: over 12,800 participants with data, plus thousands with biosamples and genotyping
📊 Type 1 diabetes: more than 1,600 participants with data

These contributions help scientists explore early risks, lifestyle factors, biomarkers, and long-term health outcomes.

Every data point brings us closer to better prevention and improved care 🌟🙌
