For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Metformin | Doses will be increased incrementally. Decisions to escalate the metformin dose will be made based upon tolerability of side effects as described in the schedule of evaluations to follow. All subjects will be monitored for safety while receiving metformin. Any participant with blood glucose of \<60mg/dl at any time while receiving metformin will have therapy stopped and will be withdrawn from the study. For children \<50kg: Baseline:250mg po qd, Week 2:250mg po bid, Week 4:500mg po AM/250mg po PM, Week 8:500mg po bid. For children ≥50kg: Baseline:500mg po qd, Week 2:500mg po bid, Week 4:1000mg po AM/500mg po PM, Week 8:1000mg po bid. For adults: Baseline:500mg po qd,Week2:500mg po bid,Week 4:1000mg po AM/500mg po PM,Week 8:1000mg po bid. Metformin | None | None | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 | View |
| Obese Controls | Three obese but otherwise healthy adult participants will be recruited into the study as controls. These will be individuals who are not currently (or previously) on any diabetic medication including metformin. There will be a single study visit and no medication will be administered. They will be administered a meal and pre and post-prandial blood samples will be drawn. | None | None | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 | View |
