Recruiting studies
- NCT02817360RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing heart events in people with type 2 diabetes
This trial tests a heart-focused prevention approach to lower the risk of cardiac (heart) events in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help by targeting early stress on the heart measured with a specific blood test.
Mödling, Lower AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05363761RecruitingPhase 1
Artery procedure to treat type 2 diabetes and related problems
This Phase 1 study tests a new artery “ablation” procedure for people with type 2 diabetes, aiming to improve diabetes and related conditions like high blood pressure. It will also check whether the procedure is safe and works well enough to study further.
Panama CityAges 21–65 - NCT05369065RecruitingPhase 1
Artery ablation for type 2 diabetes with kidney and liver arteries
This Phase 1 study tests whether a minimally invasive artery procedure can improve type 2 diabetes and related health problems by targeting kidney and liver blood vessels. Because it’s early-stage, the main goal is safety and learning how the treatment works in people who meet specific diabetes, blood pressure, and blood test requirements.
TbilisiAges 21–65 - NCT05149625Recruiting
Compare glucose tracking with a sensor versus finger sticks
This study compares two ways to monitor blood sugar after partial or full pancreas removal: a continuous glucose sensor versus traditional finger-stick testing. It looks at both how well blood sugar is controlled and how satisfied people feel with each method.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT03842475Recruiting
Who may benefit from weight-loss surgery for diabetes?
This study looks at which people with type 2 diabetes (or prediabetes) are most likely to benefit from bariatric surgery. It compares people who are planning surgery with healthy volunteers to better understand how body changes relate to blood sugar.

Smartphone-based research study for people with type 1 diabetes
This study is a multi-site project designed for people who have type 1 diabetes and can use a smartphone app (WeChat or a similar app). It aims to collect research information in a way that’s easier to follow day to day, which may help improve future care for type 1 diabetes.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT03358797Recruiting
Lifestyle program to prevent diabetes in Arab women
This trial tests a community-based lifestyle program to help prevent type 2 diabetes. It may help you lower your risk if you can follow the schedule during the study.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT02610179Recruiting
Testing a candy-based sugar drink screen for gestational diabetes
This study tests whether a candy “sugar twist” drink can be used instead of the usual glucose screening test to find gestational diabetes during pregnancy. It may help make screening easier, but whether you can join depends on your pregnancy timing and prior diabetes risk results.
Houston, TexasAges 18–64 - NCT04581447RecruitingPhase 3
Metformin to help prevent diabetes returning after weight surgery
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding metformin after gastric bypass or sleeve surgery can help you stay free of diabetes for longer. It compares metformin plus standard care versus standard care alone.
AmiensAges 18–70 - NCT05916391RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy for diabetic macular swelling affecting vision
This early-stage (Phase 1) study tests a new gene therapy to improve vision for adults with diabetic macular edema. It mainly looks at whether the treatment can be safely given and may help your vision over time.
Tianjin, Tianjin,ChinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05324488Recruiting
Graz diabetes registry for studying blood biomarkers
This study is a diabetes registry that collects health and blood information to learn what “biomarkers” (measurable signs in the body) can tell us about diabetes and related conditions. It may help researchers better understand diabetes and possibly improve future testing or care.
GrazAges 18–99 - NCT03692884Recruiting
Diabetes registry study for people under 75
This study collects information about people with diabetes to better understand the condition in everyday life. It may help improve future diabetes care by building a real-world diabetes database.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05124457RecruitingPhase 2
Detemir vs NPH insulin for diabetes in pregnancy
This Phase 2 study compares two types of insulin—insulin detemir vs NPH—to see which works better and is safe for controlling blood sugar during pregnancy. You may be invited if you are pregnant and need insulin for either pre-existing type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05697991Recruiting
Study of fatty liver in adults with type 2 diabetes
This study looks at people with type 2 diabetes who also have fatty liver. The goal is to learn more about this condition in a Saudi group and test approaches that could improve care.
Riyadh, Select A State Or ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT06141434Recruiting
Maternal Exposures and Baby Diabetes Risk Study
This study follows pregnant women and their babies to learn how early-life factors may affect the risk of type 1 diabetes. If your baby has a parent or sibling with type 1 diabetes, you may be able to join.
Aurora, ColoradoAges birth–99 years - NCT06150690Recruiting
Pancreatic islet study in patients having pancreas surgery
This trial studies pancreatic islets (cells that make insulin) from people who are having part or all of their pancreas removed. It may help researchers learn more about how the pancreas works in health and disease.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT04993482Recruiting
Tracks daily movement habits in adults with type 2 diabetes
This study looks at your usual 24-hour movement pattern (like being active, sitting, and sleeping). It may help researchers better understand daily behavior patterns in people with type 2 diabetes.
GhentAges 18–100 - NCT05801614Recruiting
Tested diet to help control glucose in early type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether carbohydrate or calorie restriction can help normalize blood sugar levels in people with relatively early type 2 diabetes. It may help those whose diabetes control is not yet fully under control but who do not have major recent heart problems.
StockholmAges 24–70 - NCT02590822Recruiting
Assess weight loss or exercise to improve heart function in diabetes
This study tests whether slimming (weight loss) or training (exercise) can improve early, “hidden” heart and blood-vessel problems in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help find a safer way to protect the heart by improving risk factors.
LeicesterAges 18–65 - NCT06746714Recruiting
Preventing low blood sugar in high-risk type 2 diabetes
This study tests a program to help people with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) avoid dangerous drops. It may help you better manage your blood sugar and reduce worrying episodes.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07859111RecruitingPhase 3
YJ001 spray for diabetic nerve pain in the feet

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diabetes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,136 recruiting diabetes 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 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 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.
