New pediatric research study to find out whether an inhaled, ultra-rapid-acting insulin works as well as mealtime insulin shots.
About The Study
The purpose of this study is to find out whether an inhaled, ultra-rapid-acting insulin works as well as mealtime insulin shots. Possible benefits of inhaled insulin include that it works very fast. That means kids can take it with their first bite of food and there is less of a chance of having low blood sugar between meals. Additionally, they could need fewer daily insulin shots.
If you qualify, you may receive study-related care and study medication or an approved medication at no charge. You may also receive compensation for travel expenses.
To take part in the study, participants should be:
- We are recruiting ages 8 to 17 Years
- Have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes
- Treated with daily mealtime insulin shots
- A1C is 7%-11%
What Is a Study?
- A clinical study helps advance the future of diabetes! Research patients try new meds or devices not yet available to the public, at no cost to them.
- Research patients meet with a study coordinator and doctor multiple times to monitor them.
- Each visit, patients are compensated for travel expenses.
- Study patients must meet a list of criteria in order to be a part of a study.
- A study can last anywhere from six months to a few years.
