TrialNet

The Joslin Diabetes Center is one of 18 clinical centers around the world participating in Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet. TrialNet is a group of studies looking at the development, prevention and early treatment of type 1 diabetes.

 There are two types of studies being done by TrialNet:

• Natural History Studies which will learn more about what causes type 1 diabetes
• Diabetes Intervention Studies which will test new treatments to delay or prevent the onset of type 1 diabetes or to preserve remaining insulin secretion in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients

Patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, as well as relatives of people with type 1 diabetes are needed for these studies.

For more information about the TrialNet Studies being done at the Joslin Diabetes Center, please contact Lisa Kuhn RN BSN at 617-732-2524, Lisa.Kuhn@joslin.harvard.edu, or visit http://www.diabetestrialnet.org/
