Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet (TrialNet) is an international network of researchers who are exploring ways to prevent, delay and reverse the progression of type 1 diabetes. Studies are conducted in non-diabetic persons at risk of type 1 diabetes in an effort to delay the development of type 1 diabetes as a clinical disease, and in individuals with type 1 diabetes who are either newly diagnosed or have evidence of sustained beta cell function. Studies include long-term follow-up of subjects developing type 1 diabetes.
The goal of the GRADE Study is to determine which combination of two diabetes medications is best for achieving good glycemic control, has the fewest side effects, and is the most beneficial for overall health in long-term treatment for people with type 2 diabetes. GRADE is funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
