Is Type 2 Diabetes having an impact on your life?

Research Study for Adults with
Type 2 Diabetes
The HSC Physical Therapy Department is looking for people with type 2 diabetes to examine individual characteristics that predict the ability to complete physical tasks during daily life.
Many older adults with type 2 diabetes experience a decline in their ability to perform daily tasks. We are conducting a research study to identify characteristics (such as strength and balance) that can predict physical function capabilities.
Participants will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires and physical tests across two separate days. The total amount of required time is about two hours.
