Summary
The purpose of the study is to see how a dietary oil called conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA,
might be useful in combination with diabetes medication. Some studies show that CLA can
modestly reduce body weight and body fat. Our research idea is that taking CLA will reduce
body weight and body fat without interfering with the diabetes medications' effects on blood
sugar.
