Case Western Reserve University and Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital are participating in a national multi-center research study funded by the National Institutes of Health. Our local partners in this effort include, The Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente and The Children’s Hospital Medical Center of Akron.
The TODAY Study wants to find the best ways to treat young people who have Type 2 diabetes. TODAY will compare 3 different treatment methods that include making changes in eating habits and physical activity, and taking different combinations of medicines.
Some participants will get to work with a personal activity and nutrition leader who will educate the youth and their families on how to make healthy lifestyle changes.
TODAY Study participants will receive at NO COST:
- Diabetes medications
- Regular medical follow-up
- Blood glucose testing supplies
- Extensive diabetes education
To participate in the TODAY Study, one must:
- Be 10 – 17 years old
- Have had diabetes for less than 2 years
- Be English speaking
