Growth hormone study for small babies checks diabetes risk

NCT ID NCT00597480

Summary

This study aimed to understand how growth hormone treatment affects children who were born small for their gestational age. Researchers compared two different dosing methods over two years to see which better promoted growth while minimizing risks like increased insulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes. The goal was to find factors, including genetic ones, that predict how a child will respond to the treatment.
