Research participants sought

The kinesiology department in the College of Education is conducting a study to learn more about metformin’s effects on the body. Researchers are seeking men and women ages 18-75 who currently are taking metformin, a prescription drug treatment for adult Type 2 diabetes.

Participants will wear a glucose monitor for two three-day sessions and will be provided meals during this time. They also will walk on a treadmill for one short session and two longer sessions.

Information from this study may be used to improve future medical treatment. Participants will be given information about their body composition and health and also receive a financial incentive. For more information, contact Melissa Erickson at melissa9@uga.edu or 706-829-2560.
