Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Open label Vyvanse
Eligible subjects will be dispensed open label LDX (VyvanseTM). All subjects will start at 20 mg once a day dose and will be titrated up weekly by 10 mg increments up to a maximum dose of 70 mg. If a subject experiences intolerable side effects at a particular dose, a step down to the next tolerated level is allowed.
Drug: Lis-dexamphetamine
Eligible subjects will be dispensed open label LDX (VyvanseTM). All subjects will start at 20 mg once a day dose and will be titrated up weekly by 10 mg increments up to a maximum dose of 70 mg.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pre and Post Study Fasting Blood Sugar and Two Hour Post Prandial.
Time Frame: Baseline to end of study
The study was terminated due to lack of enrollment therefore outcome measures were not assessed. If completed, the expected outcomes would have shown an improvement of the subject's fasting and 2 hour post prandial glucose values, insulin levels and HbA1c. However, all of the subjects recruited did not have abnormal values to start with. The two subjects who were enrolled were the younger kids to which the entry lab criteria do not apply.
