Are you 18- 60 years old with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes?
If you are between the ages of 18 and 60 years old with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, you may qualify for a research study to look at the effects of high blood glucose levels in the brain and assess if the changes seen in individuals with poorly control T2DM can be reversed with good glucose control.
At least 4 in-person visits are required and at least 4 scheduled telephone visits to monitor progress. These visits will take approximately 10 hours in total.
Compensation up to $475.

Does your 12- to 22-year-old have obesity or is at risk for developing obesity?
Our research team in Pediatric Endocrinology at Yale is studying what causes fatty liver disease and how sugars are playing a role on liver fat content in children and adolescents with obesity. We would like to understand why some kids develop fatty liver and others do not. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of liver disease in pediatrics with an estimate of about 7 million children and adolescents affected in the US. Early onset fatty liver can mean many years of disease, predisposing youth to develop complications early in life.
We are looking for teenagers and young adults between the ages of 12-22, obese (BMI>30), and identify as Hispanic and/or Black/African American. Hispanic youth show the highest prevalence of NAFLD (~45%) compared to Non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB) (~13%). Understanding the mechanisms leading to the different susceptibility of ethnic groups to accumulate intrahepatic fat will provide important insights in the pathophysiology of fatty liver in kids. We are looking to include the group with the highest rate of fatty liver, Hispanic youths, and a group with the lowest rate Black/African American to gain a better understanding of fatty liver disease.
Participants will be asked to do 3 separate research study visits and follow up visits every 6 months after the research study visits.
Participants may be compensated up to $1380.

Adolescents with higher weight seeking treatment for bulimia nervosa
This study will test the feasibility and acceptability of two treatments for adolescents with higher weight seeking treatment for bulimia nervosa. Bulimia nervosa is when individuals binge eat (overeat while feeling like they lost control) and purge (do something extreme or unhealthy to lose weight or prevent weight gain). Bulimia nervosa happens across different ages and body sizes. This study is focusing on adolescents who have a larger body size (overweight or obesity, or recent substantial weight loss).
Adolescents will receive treatment that is 4 months of 45-minute sessions, weekly. Treatment will occur over telehealth (e.g., zoom), and the whole study is online.
