Understanding Genetic Risk in Recently Diagnosed Diabetes
This study looks at genetic factors in people recently diagnosed with diabetes to understand what might predict who needs insulin treatment. Researchers will analyze blood samples and medical information to see if genetic testing could help doctors predict your treatment path.
Changsha, HunanAges 14–50 - NCT05530356Enrolling by invitation
Study of kidney blood flow and insulin resistance in youth
This study looks at how well insulin is working and how the kidneys use energy by measuring kidney blood flow. It compares obese young people with and without type 2 diabetes to lean controls, using a PET scan (a special imaging test).
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–26 - NCT03087032RecruitingPhase 4
Liraglutide injections vs insulin for uncontrolled type 2 diabetes
This trial compares two treatment approaches—liraglutide injections versus a specific insulin (glargine) injection—plus meal-time insulin dosing (“bolus”) in adults with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes that isn’t well controlled. The goal is to see which option works better and is safer for improving blood sugar.

Continuous glucose monitor and coaching for type 2 diabetes
This real-world study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (isCGM) with or without pharmacist coaching helps people with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin improve their blood sugar control. It compares these approaches to standard blood sugar checking and looks for better HbA1c results after three months.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06844539Recruiting

- 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.
