5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of adding oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA) to existing insulin treatment in monogenic variant carriers of the Joslin 50-Year Medalist Study ("Medalists"), who are characterized by ≥50 years of insulin-dependent diabetes. Our primary objective is to evaluate whether the presence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) high-risk alleles for diabetes (DR3 and/or DR4) can affect the effectiveness of OHA in these subjects.
