- Treatment with Metformin, Insulin Glargine (long-acting insulin) or the experimental drug Dorzagliatin which is FDA-approved for research, for up to 8 weeks
- 2-4 inpatient visits/ including two overnight stays at the Clinical Research Unit at 15th floor of Jefferson Tower.
All visits to be completed within a three-month period. Study-related tests and procedures are provided free of charge. Participants will be compensated up to $2,500 for study completion. All Participants must be Diagnosed with type 2 DM and Not on any type of insulin therapy.
Please contact Kathryn Hollifield-Laumer at khollifield@uabmc.edu or co-investigators Chanel Mason at 205-934-1921 or cnmason@uabmc.edu, or Alaaeldin Hodhod at ahodhod@uabmc.edu.
This is a great opportunity for all to gain experience participating in a clinical research study. All participation would not only contribute to advancing our understanding of perceptual learning and how the brain processes vision, but also holds the potential to improve outcomes for those with central vision loss.
If you or someone you know may be interested, please consider participating.

We're conducting clinical research in depression to learn how individuals’ brain biology impacts response to treatment, with the goal to help people find relief faster. You do not need to already have a diagnosis to participate.
If you’re currently taking medication, you are likely still eligible for our studies and don’t have to stop your existing treatment regimen.
