Hello Stayin Fit: Sorry for the delay! I can for sure give you more details. What in particular would you like to know? Are you able to call? It's probably easiest to discuss over the phone.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will look into that. As for general info: what we do is run studies that test investigational medications for either type II diabetes, weight loss, or both. The studies tend to be a year long with monthly visits. The visits are on Tuesday or Thursday mornings - that is when we have physicians available in our office. There are specific requirements for each study that will allow or not allow you to participate (ie. type of diabetes medication you are taking, your height/weight ratio, other health conditions etc.) I hope this helps!
