Diabetes Research Studies
Our team offers many different diabetes services. Their focus is to help patients manage diabetes and prevent the complications that happen because of it. Discoveries made through research help us develop the best treatment plans.
Advancing diabetes care is rooted in research that unlocks clues for better management and prevention.
The number of people with diabetes is increasing around the world. Research shows that the rise of type 2 diabetes is a result of many reasons including a decrease in active lifestyles, diet, genetics and environmental factors. Type 2 diabetes used to be more common in older adults, but it is now being diagnosed in teens and younger adults more frequently.
When there is not a cure for a disease like diabetes, our mission is to help our patients control their diabetes and reduce the risk of more serious health problems. Diabetes research helps us understand the disease better. By studying how new medicines, foods, and even exercise programs can help manage diabetes and prevent complications from the disease, we can better treat our patients. Diabetes research leads to discoveries that can make an impact on public health and the millions of lives diabetes affects.
