Recruiting studies
- NCT01779115Enrolling by invitation
Diabetes registry for people with diagnosed high blood sugar

Tel AvivAges Any age - NCT00001987Recruiting
Understanding genetics of insulin resistance and diabetes
This research study looks at the genes and immune system factors that cause severe insulin resistance—a condition where the body doesn't respond well to insulin. Researchers want to understand why some people develop this problem and study family members and healthy volunteers to learn more.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–120 years - NCT00001853Recruiting
Heart disease risk study in Black adults
This study looks at how obesity and blood fat (triglyceride) levels affect heart disease risk differently in Black men and women. You may join if you're a healthy Black adult between 18 and 70, without diabetes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT00071526Recruiting
How the body loses vitamin C in diabetes
This study looks at why people with diabetes may lose more vitamin C in their urine than people without diabetes. By understanding this difference, researchers hope to better understand how diabetes affects the body's nutrition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT03481829Recruiting

Tight blood sugar targets in pregnant women with gestational diabetes
This study compares a tighter blood sugar goal versus a standard goal in pregnant people with gestational diabetes who are also overweight or obese. It may help find whether stricter blood sugar control improves pregnancy outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–45 - NCT07061574RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune treatment for new onset type 1 diabetes
This study tests a low dose of a drug that calms the immune system, followed by either another immune drug or a blood pressure medicine, to see if they can help preserve the body's ability to make insulin in people recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It may help keep your own insulin production going longer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 9–20 - NCT06184373Recruiting
Early glucose monitoring after gestational diabetes pilot
This study tests a continuous glucose monitor (a small patch that tracks your blood sugar) for a few weeks after you give birth. It aims to see if this tool can help women who recently had gestational diabetes better understand their blood sugar levels after delivery.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–50 - NCT07676565Recruiting
Adding new drugs to insulin for type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether adding certain diabetes pills (GLP-1 receptor agonists or SGLT inhibitors) to insulin is safe and helpful for adults with type 1 diabetes. Doctors will check your glucose monitor data to see how well this works.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07868354RecruitingPhase 1
Switching to a new weight-loss medicine from tirzepatide

Testing gastrin to improve results of islet cell transplant
This trial looks at whether adding gastrin can improve outcomes after an islet cell transplant for people with type 1 diabetes. It may help some participants achieve better blood sugar control, but it also requires close follow-up and immune-suppressing medications to protect the new cells.
