Buffalo, New YorkAges 2 years+ - NCT06118931Recruiting
Time-Restricted Eating for Blood Sugar Control
This study tests whether eating only during a specific daily window helps control blood sugar in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes. You'll follow a set eating schedule and use a phone app to track your meals.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT05593549RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Studying blood vessel damage in type 2 diabetes
This early study looks at how “autophagy” (your body’s cell recycling process) relates to small blood-vessel problems in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand mechanisms and possible future treatments, mainly for people who meet specific health and medication criteria.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–80 - NCT06067399Recruiting
Red blood cell width and blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
This study looks at two blood test results—HbA1c (average blood sugar) and red blood cell width (RDW)—in people with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not well controlled. The goal is to see how these two measurements relate after improving blood sugar management.
Al KhārjahAges 40 years+ - NCT05138432Recruiting
More fresh fruit and vegetables for kids with type 2 diabetes

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,155 recruiting diabetes (insulin-requiring, type 1 or type 2) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a diabetes (insulin-requiring, type 1 or type 2) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a diabetes (insulin-requiring, type 1 or type 2) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
