Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 45–79 - NCT03316261Recruiting
Testing newborns for type 1 diabetes risk
This study looks at infants to find how likely they are to develop type 1 diabetes later in life. If you have a newborn who is very young, you may be able to take part by allowing the study team to test them as part of early risk screening.
MunichAges 1 day–1 month - NCT03403686Recruiting
Study eye treatment target for diabetic retinopathy
This study tests a new approach aimed at improving diabetic eye disease (diabetic retinopathy). It may help by changing inflammation and related processes in the eye, especially in people who have diabetes and eye changes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21–98 - NCT03455868Recruiting
Bone health check after bariatric surgery in people with diabetes
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery affects bone health in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors understand who needs extra bone protection after surgery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–60 - NCT03460769Recruiting
Mixed meal test to study diabetes from pancreas conditions
This study uses a special blood-sugar test (a mixed meal) to better diagnose and understand diabetes related to pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis, and to compare it with other diabetes types. It may help researchers find clearer ways to tell these diabetes causes apart and understand how they work.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 30–84 - NCT03463564RecruitingPhase 4
Insulin pump versus insulin shots for type 1 diabetes control
This study compares an insulin pump to insulin shots to see which better improves blood sugar control and reduces swings in people with type 1 diabetes. You may be included if your diabetes is not well controlled despite education and you’ve had low blood sugar episodes.
NaplesAges 18–30 - NCT03481283Recruiting
Testing amylin’s role in nerve pain from type 2 diabetes
This study looks at whether amylin is involved in nerve damage causing pain or numbness in the feet or hands for people with type 2 diabetes. If you qualify, you may be evaluated with nerve testing to see how your nerve function compares to the study’s targets.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT03512132Recruiting
Test HDL function in type 1 diabetes with kidney changes
This study looks at how well “good cholesterol” (HDL) works in people with type 1 diabetes, especially when kidney tests show early or more advanced damage. Researchers will compare different groups (normal, micro-, and macro-albumin in urine) to better understand HDL’s role and how it may relate to kidney health.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT03595267Recruiting
Kidney health checks and care for Indigenous communities
This study offers kidney-related health screening and follow-up care for people in Indigenous communities. It’s designed to help check kidney health early using simple health measurements, and may help you get guidance sooner if anything looks off.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 10–80 - 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.
