What is a study?

  • A clinical study is a way of researching new medications or devices. Each study has its own criteria (such as age range, type of diabetes, etc.). You must meet those criteria to be part of a specific study.
  • At Iowa Diabetes, we conduct many different studies each year. So if you don’t qualify for a current study, you may qualify for one in the future.
  • If you qualify for a clinical study, you’ll try a new medication or device that may not yet be available to the public. You’ll meet with a study coordinator and doctor at our West Des Moines office multiple times for monitoring. On average, studies last for one year.
  • By participating in a study, you’ll receive free medication, free medical care and money to cover your travel expenses. And you’ll be helping to improve the future of diabetes treatment.

I am part of a study that Iowa Diabetes Research is doing, it’s a once weekly injection that I do. I have lost 42 pounds and lowered my A1c to 5.8% since the study started. My outlook is a whole lot brighter than it was, and I want to continue losing weight and getting healthier.
