New Research Study Helps Patients Control Their Type 2 Diabetes

Dr. Michael McCartney is pleased to announce he has been selected for a national research study to help patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Haverhill, MA - Dr. McCartney has just been selected to begin work on a new research study that will help those with Type 2 Diabetes who are not well controlled on their current medications.

Many patients with Type 2 Diabetes take both oral medication as well as insulin every day to help control the effects of low blood sugar. Type 2 Diabetes is diagnosed by the body’s inability to produces enough insulin which results in high blood sugar. Patients with high blood sugar levels can sometimes experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, confusion and shakiness.

As part of this research study, Dr. McCartney will be looking for patients over the age of eighteen to participate. He and his staff will be offering free study-related medical care such as lab tests, patient education, exams free glucose meters and strips to those who qualify and participate.  Individuals must have Type 2 Diabetes and take oral medication or insulin for their diabetes and are still not well controlled.

To see if you or a loved one qualifies to take part in this research study, call Stacy at 978-372-7252 for more information.
