Type II Diabetes Research

[Richard-Allen]

I am looking to understand and find out more about Type II Diabetes. I was wondering if there happen to be any current trials, studies, or research programs going on.

I wish to learn more. I understand the workings of the CRTC2 gene and would like to understand the connection between sugar cravings and the GFG21 hormone suppressed by certain anti-rejection medications.

Does anyone know of any studies, please?

Hi Richard-Allen,

We post news articles on study recruitments quite regularly on our website and through Facebook. These studies are quite often about type 2 diabetes, and explore a lot of the condition.

I'd recommend either following us on Facebook @drwfdiabetes or visiting our website drwf.org.uk/news-and-events/

We usually have a new study recruitment every month to 6 weeks. So it's a good place to see what research is being done, as well as what you can get involved in.

Many Thanks

Sam

This links takes you to the US National Library of Medicine - a useful source of information if you are looking for good quality studies. There are specific sections on genes, genetics etc.
