Diabetes (Type 2)

Encompass has been a leader in Type 2 Diabetes research for over 15 years. Some of the most effective diabetes treatments available today were evaluated in studies at Encompass before being approved by the FDA. We've completed over 150 diabetes studies involving more than 1,500 participants.

Type 2 Diabetes increases the risk of stroke, heart disease, eye disease, and kidney disease. Keeping your blood glucose within the normal range may help you delay or prevent serious health complications. If you are having trouble controlling your blood sugar, it may be time to change your treatment plan. Taking part in a research study may offer you new treatment options.

Some of our studies last up to 2 years. Qualified participants will receive study-related diabetes care and medication at no cost for the duration of the study.

Several studies are now underway evaluating the following new investigational medications:

  3. A medication to lower glucose levels with reduced risk of weight gain and fluid retention
  4. A longer acting insulin requiring fewer injections
