Several studies are currently underway to help increase our understanding of the causes of diabetes and its complications, and to develop better strategies to prevent and manage its complications. Our Diabetes & Endocrinology Clinical Research Unit (DECRU) offers our patients and other volunteers the opportunity to participate in state-of-the-art phase I, II, III, and IV clinical trials with investigational medications for the treatment of diabetes and related metabolic disorders.
