Married couples sought for diabetes study

Married adults age 50 and older with type 2 diabetes and their spouses are needed for a research study of the daily management of diabetes.

Participants will be interviewed in person, and then will complete an electronic diary on a laptop computer at the end of the day for eight consecutive days. Participants also will take a digital image of their evening meal and record the foods and beverages consumed at the meal for eight consecutive days.

Participants will be paid for being part of the study. The primary investigator is Melissa Franks, assistant professor of child development and family studies.
