Canagliflozin to reduce inflammation in heart artery disease
This trial tests canagliflozin to see if it lowers “vascular inflammation” in people with diabetes and stable coronary artery disease. It may help reduce harmful inflammation signals that can raise future heart risk.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05499702RecruitingPhase 2
Glucagon test after dieting in type 2 diabetes
This Phase 2 study tests how glucagon affects sugar and fat handling in the liver after a short period of calorie restriction. It may help researchers understand metabolic changes in people with type 2 diabetes and guide future treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 25–65 - NCT05548205Recruiting
Glucose monitoring for people starting insulin after hospital discharge
This study checks whether using a continuous glucose monitor for 2 weeks after you leave the hospital helps you manage blood sugar better when you are newly starting insulin. It may help your care team adjust insulin and track glucose trends more closely right after discharge.

Comparing two treatments for diabetic nerve pain
This study compares two approaches to treating nerve pain caused by diabetes. You may be eligible if your diabetic neuropathy is moderate to severe and you can reliably use a phone for study steps.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 45–85 - NCT05589155Recruiting
Using a phone app to improve blood sugar and weight
This study looks at whether a mobile phone app can help people with type 2 diabetes improve their health habits, including blood sugar monitoring and weight. You may be able to join if you already check your blood sugar daily and are able to use a smartphone.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–64 - NCT05633706Recruiting
Testing a capsule to study gut bacteria in the small intestine
This study tests the SIMBA capsule to learn how gut bacteria (dysbiosis) relate to digestive conditions. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how the capsule can be used safely.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–80 - NCT05651724Recruiting
MASH screening study for people with diabetes or obesity
This study screens participants for MASH (a type of liver fat inflammation) using information about your health and risk factors. It may help you and your care team learn whether you could have MASH and need follow-up.
Brussels, Vlaams-brabantAges 18–75 - NCT05740514Recruiting
Exercise program study for adults with type 1 diabetes
This study looks at how an exercise program affects “healthy outcomes” in people with type 1 diabetes. You might be invited if you are the right age, generally less active, and have a safe health profile for exercising.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT05790785Recruiting
Tests blood vessel changes in kids soon after type 1 diabetes
This study looks at how blood vessels and blood pressure change in children soon after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It may help doctors better understand early vascular risk and how to monitor it.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 8–18 - NCT05881447Recruiting
Study kidney disease patterns in people in Tanzania
This study looks at how common chronic kidney disease is, how it develops over time, and what risk factors are linked to it. It may help improve how kidney disease is recognized and managed in your community.
