More than 15.5 million people in this country have diabetes. It is the seventh-leading cause of death. Now, the adult form of this disease is turning up in our children at an alarming rate...something that was virtually unheard of 10 to 15 years ago. The dilemma is most of the existing treatments for adults have never been tested or approved for use in children. But pediatric diabetes specialists at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and other top pediatric specialists nationally hope a new landmark study will help determine the best treatments to keep these kids healthy longer. The study will be conducted in multiple locations through Oklahoma. For more information on the study, call 405-271-7755 or 1-800-613-8512.
