Summary
This study looks at how the body processes arginine, a natural nutrient, in teenagers and young adults with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will compare 30 youth with diabetes to healthy controls using safe, minimally invasive tests. The goal is to understand the disease better and see if giving arginine can boost insulin production, potentially leading to a low-cost treatment.
