Description: Blood and urine are collected on an annual basis and sent to the Central Biospecimen Laboratory for analysis and storage.

Analyses performed on an annual basis are: HbA1c, insulin sensitivity and secreation (fasting glucose, insulin, C-peptide, and proinsulin), 2-hour OGTT, pancreatic autoimmunity, serum creatinine, liver function tests, lipids (LDL, triglycerides, free fatty acids, lipoprotein subclass levels, average LDL particle density, and total apoB levels), cardiovascular risk factors (fibrinogen, c-reactive protein, homocysteine vitamin B-12, plasminogran activator inhibitor-1, interleukin-6), microalbumin.

HbA1c is also analyzed quarterly.
