Recruiting studies
- NCT03937453Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer screening for people with new or worsening diabetes

Test shot medicine versus insulin pump for new type 2 diabetes
This study compares a continuous “under the skin” diabetes medicine (called beinaglutide) with an insulin pump (CSII) in people who were recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for controlling blood sugar.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07703345Recruiting
Saliva markers in people with diabetes and gum disease
This study checks whether certain substances in saliva can help detect gum disease in people with type 2 diabetes. It compares the levels of these substances in people with diabetes and gum disease, people with gum disease only, people with diabetes only, and healthy volunteers.
Konya, KonyaAges 18–80 - NCT06969807RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells for diabetic kidney disease
This trial tests whether a type of stem cell called mesenchymal stromal cells (Amimestrocel) can help people with diabetic kidney disease. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and can improve kidney function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04024631Recruiting

Glucose monitoring for young adults at risk of DKA
This study tests a real-time glucose monitor (RT-CGM) to help young adults with insulin-treated diabetes recognize dangerously high or fast-changing blood sugars. It may help lower the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious complication that can lead to urgent care or hospital stays.
LondonAges 18–25 - NCT04039945Recruiting
Early checkup and care program for type 1 diabetes
This study looks at early diagnosis and support for people with type 1 diabetes. You may be invited to participate if a parent or guardian agrees to enroll your child.

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 - NCT04141878Recruiting
Lifestyle program to help prevent dementia in adults with diabetes risk
This trial tests a structured lifestyle program (more activity and healthier eating) to help prevent or slow memory and thinking problems. It may be helpful if you’re older but not showing major memory impairment, and you can commit to weekly study activities for about 8 months.
Walnut Creek, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT04232631Recruiting
Noninvasive tests to help wounds heal in diabetes
This study uses noninvasive (no major procedures) tests to better understand how diabetic foot ulcers or infections are healing. It may help doctors choose better ways to support wound healing in people with diabetes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–89 - NCT04240652Recruiting
Diabetes eye screening and prevention program for eye disease
This program aims to screen people for diabetic eye problems early and help prevent vision loss over time. It may help you if you have type 2 diabetes (or you’ve been invited as a diabetes/non-diabetes participant) and can safely take part in the study activities.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04258293Recruiting
Diabetes screening for people taking steroid tablets long term
This trial checks whether people who take steroid medicines for more than 3 months are developing early diabetes, using blood tests before and around starting treatment. It may help catch diabetes sooner if it’s starting to develop, even in people who didn’t have diabetes yet.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT04270578Recruiting
Study of gestational diabetes during pregnancy and after birth
This trial looks at gestational diabetes (high blood sugar during pregnancy) and may study how it’s managed during pregnancy and postpartum. It may help researchers understand what approaches are safe and useful for people with this condition.
TübingenAges 18 years+ - NCT04286399RecruitingPhase 4
Prevention trial for heart outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes
This Phase 4 trial studies an approach to help prevent heart problems in adults with type 2 diabetes who are at higher heart risk. It may help reduce future cardiovascular events by testing medications for safety and benefit in this group.
SingaporeAges 40 years+ - NCT04427189Recruiting
Diabetes registry for children and teens with better care
This study builds a diabetes “registry” to better understand how diabetes is managed in children and teens. Your information helps create reference centers and improve care, and you must be willing to follow study instructions.
Hanover, Low SaxonyAges Any age - NCT04428658Recruiting
Telehealth coaching for kids to improve blood sugar control
This trial tests whether extra diabetes coaching delivered through online video and online messages can lower blood sugar levels in children with type 1 diabetes. It may help your child improve diabetes control by combining real-time and non-real-time support.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 5–18 - NCT04432025Recruiting
Medication after weight-loss surgery for type 2 diabetes
This trial looks at whether a specific diabetes medicine given after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery can improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. You might be considered if you are eligible for this surgery and meet the weight criteria.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT04449198RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study for mitochondrial and blood-vessel issues in type 1 diabetes
This early study looks at how a new approach may affect energy-making (mitochondria) and blood-vessel signaling in people with insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand whether these pathways can be improved in type 1 diabetes.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04451915Recruiting
Study for early gestational diabetes in pregnancy
This study is looking at pregnant people who have early signs of gestational diabetes in the first half of pregnancy. It may help find safer ways to monitor or treat early diabetes-related blood sugar changes to improve pregnancy outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diabetes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,209 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.
