The Diabetes Center at The Children's Hospital of Buffalo is seeking volunteers to participate in a study that compares test data from women who have type 1 diabetes to women who do not have diabetes. The study will identify factors to help diagnose osteoporosis, and prevent it in women with type 1 diabetes. Young women aged 13 to 30 who have had their menstrual period for at least two years and are of normal body weight, may be eligible to participate. This includes women who have type 1 diabetes, as well as those who are not affected by the disease.
Testing takes only two hours.
The study is sponsored by the American Diabetes Association and conducted by Children's Hospital and the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
