Kovler Diabetes Center

The University of Chicago Kovler Diabetes Center offers a patient-centered, science-based approach for managing insulin-dependent Type 1 diabetes, complex Type 2 diabetes, gestational, pre-diabetes and monogenic diabetes. Our multidisciplinary team works with patients and referring physicians to address all the challenges of diabetes, from hypertension and vascular problems to diabetes distress and kidney disease. 

Building on a long history of seminal diabetes-related research at the University of Chicago, our affiliated principal investigators today work in several disciplines with implications for diabetes. Researchers can enjoy the collaborative opportunities available across campus and beyond including our onsite Diabetes Research and Training Center, and with individual labs within the Section of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism. Our center receives significant NIH funding for several studies including the Monogenic Diabetes Registry, and the Rare and Atypical Diabetes Network (RADIANT).
