The Mobile County Health Department is looking for people to take part in a diabetes study.

To qualify, you must have Type II diabetes, be taking insulin, and be at least 19 years old. Some participants will also be required to have access to a touch-tone telephone.

Participants will check their blood sugar levels over a nine-month period using standard glucose meters, lancets and strips provided at no charge. Some participants will keep a record of their readings in a book. Others will dial a 1-800 number and enter their blood sugar reading using the telephone keypad. If the blood sugar level is out of the range prescribed by the participant’s doctor, a computer will automatically send an e-mail alert to a monitoring station.

The study does not involve taking an experimental medicine.

If you'd like to take part in the study, call 251.690.8847 or send an e-mail to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
