CALENDAR LISTING:

Men and women ages 40-80 who have Type II (adult onset) diabetes and are insulin dependent are being recruited by endocrinology researchers at the Emory University School of Medicine. The study will test a new drug with 24-hour insulin-like activity.

Participants should NOT currently be taking oral antidiabetic drugs, though they need to be using insulin. All laboratory tests, eye exams, nutritional consults, physical exams and insulin supplies will be provided at no charge. Participants will receive reimbursements for time and travel expenses.

Volunteers will be asked to visit The Emory Clinic at 1365 Clifton Rd., N.E., Atlanta, about eight times over an eight-month period.

For information, call study coordinators Catherine Barnes and Karen Chan at 404/ 727-1395.
