Study asks: do kids need more diabetes medicine?

NCT ID NCT06120881

Summary

This small pilot study is testing whether a higher dose of the common diabetes drug metformin works better for young people aged 10-21. Researchers think young bodies process the drug faster, so the standard adult dose might not be strong enough. The study will compare the standard dose to a higher dose to see if it's acceptable, feasible, and better at controlling blood sugar.
