New research study for Type 2 Diabetes patients to wear an insulin pump
About The Study
This study is looking at having patients with Type 2 Diabetes wear a Medtronic insulin pump instead of giving multiple daily insulin shots or using their current pump. A glucose sensor will be worn with the pump to continuously monitor glucose levels. The pump combined with the continuous glucose sensor could help patients closely monitor blood sugars and have better control over their diabetes.
If you qualify, you will receive study-related care and insulin pump/supplies at no cost. You will also receive compensation for travel expenses.
To take part in the study, participants should be:
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Taking mealtime insulin shots or on an insulin pump
- A1C of 10% or less
- Willing to wear an insulin pump & continuous glucose sensor
See if you qualify
