Clinical Research

The section is heavily involved in many clinical trials evaluating type 2 diabetes and its related complications. In this regard, we have trials that evaluate patients who are considered very early in the disease process, i.e. ‘pre-diabetic’ for which lifestyle and nutritional intervention is being evaluated. In addition, the section has trials that are evaluating individuals who have had diabetes and are currently on either monotherapy with a single agent, combination therapy with several oral agents or on insulin therapy. The section is also conducting studies with the goal of evaluating how diabetes presents in a minority population in the New Orleans area, i.e. Vietnamese.
