Women and Type 1 Diabetes

Research volunteers are needed for studies investigating the influence of menstrual cycle hormones and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) on insulin sensitivity. The study is being conducted at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We are looking for generally healthy women with Type 1 diabetes to participate in our studies.

• In addition to having Type 1 diabetes, women who participate must have:
• Regular menstrual cycles (within 24-35 day range).
• A reliable method of non-hormonal contraception.
• No history of psychiatric treatment (past or current).
• No history of severe hypoglycemia (seizures or unconsciousness due to low blood sugar).
• No plans to become pregnant or breastfeed while enrolled in the study.
• Must be 18 years or older to participate.

For more information, you can read the study brochure (PDF format) or call Kim Trout, R.N. at 215-898-6733 or via e-mail at ktrout[@]nursing.upenn.edu.
