Type 2 Diabetes Program

Our research 

Because diabetes is a chronic condition that requires lifelong management, our researchers as well as those in the Optimal Weight for Life Program and the Diabetes Program at Boston Children’s Hospital are investigating the disease in order to understand how it develops and how it can be treated.

We’re also engaged in a variety of studies that seek to improve the treatment and ongoing management of overweight children and adolescents and those with type 2 diabetes. Your participation in any study is completely optional—your decision to take part or not will have no effect on the quality of care that you receive. For more information on these studies in which your child may be eligible to participate, visit Optimal Weight for Life Program Research

At Boston Children’s, all of our researchers are focused on the best ways of translating their findings into improved care for children with diabetes.
