Researchers at the University of Kentucky invite you to participate in a research study to better understand how genetics, obesity, and other lifestyle factors might contribute to a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Participants will complete a diet questionnaire using the MyFitnessPal app to assess food intake and also answer questions about their physical activity.

Participants will have blood tests and biopsies of fat and muscle.

You may be eligible to participate if you:

• are obese, prediabetic, or diabetic adult between 35-65 years old
• have never had a heart attack or serious heart problem

Participants who complete all procedures will receive $200 compensation.
