We would appreciate very much your active support in our research to the benefit of patients with diabetes mellitus Type 1 and Type 2, because your personal experience is a big contribution to our endeavours to improve the medical diabetes care.
Before participating in a study you will be physically examined. The studies are carried out under medical care (a physician is present permanently). You will have access to your laboratory values which, if desired, can also be transferred to your general practitioner.
Our Institute was founded in 1986 by Prof. Dr. med. Dres. h. c. Ernst Friedrich Pfeiffer.
The research aim is the development of an Artificial Pancreas in order to ease the illness and to prevent the serious late complications of Diabetes mellitus. Already in the 70ies Prof. Pfeiffer developed a measurement device for continuous monitoring of blood glucose and insulin infusion, a sort of artificial pancreas.
A smaller device, the “Ulm Zucker Uhr System” is known worldwide.
