Diabetes

In diabetes, there are elevated blood sugar levels due to absolute or relative insufficiencies of insulin. There are two types of diabetes: type 1 (previously called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile-onset diabetes) and type 2 (previously called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or maturity-onset diabetes). There are signs that type 2 diabetes is being diagnosed more often in adolescents and young adults, due to sedentary lifestyles and 'fast-food' eating habits. Most type 2 diabetics produce variable, even normal, amounts of insulin, but have abnormalities in liver and muscle cells that resist its action.

Novartis is seeking people to participate in a clinical trial(s) testing the safety and effectiveness of Novartis products. Novartis recommends that you consult your doctor before participating in a clinical trial.
