Do you have type 2 diabetes and are currently struggling to control your glucose levels?
This clinical research study is evaluating an experimental treatment for type 2 diabetics.
Would you like to take part?
As a volunteer in a research study, you’ll receive study-related medical care from the study doctor and regular follow-up of your health to monitor the effectiveness of the care you’ll receive. The results of this research will be used to find out if the investigational medication being studied will be of benefit to others struggling to manage type 2 diabetes, and whether it will be made widely available to all Canadians. Study volunteers are an important part of moving medical care forward.
