The DARE study consists of samples from diabetic patients, both type 1 and type 2 in the South West peninsula area (roughly Devon and Cornwall), predominately within the Exeter area. Sample collected at point of contact and data collected over time. The DARE collection was run alongside our EXTEND collection, concentrating on diabetic patients. EXTEND patients were recruited as controls to the DARE collection, and DARE diabetics were recruited to the EXTEND collection. Therefore, the majority of patients in DARE will have samples held within EXTEND, however, if diabetes is the main focus of a request to the Exeter biobanks, samples and data will come from the DARE collection.
