Ottawa, OntarioAges 16 years+ - NCT05723445Recruiting
Low glycemic diet test for diabetes and body changes in CF
This trial studies whether a low glycemic load (a specific way of choosing carbohydrates) improves blood sugar control and body composition in adults with cystic fibrosis–related diabetes. It may help reduce blood sugar problems and support healthier weight and body measurements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT06628453Recruiting
Continuous glucose monitor for type 2 diabetes in pregnancy
This study tests whether using a CGM (a small sensor that tracks blood sugar) can help manage type 2 diabetes during pregnancy better than standard care. It is for women who have type 2 diabetes and are pregnant with one baby.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–50 - NCT06630585RecruitingPhase 3
Tirzepatide added to insulin pump for type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether adding a weekly injection of tirzepatide (a drug that helps with blood sugar and weight) can improve glucose control in adults with type 1 diabetes who already use an automated insulin pump. It may help you if your blood sugar is not at target despite using a pump.
Chêne-Bougeries, Canton of GenevaAges 18–65 - NCT06630182Recruiting
Does personality affect diabetic foot wound healing?
This study looks at how your feelings and personality might affect the healing of a diabetic foot wound. Researchers will ask you to complete questionnaires about your emotional state to see if there is a link to wound recovery.
DijonAges 18–18 - NCT06627504Recruiting
Sleep study for teens with type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether getting more sleep helps improve metabolic health in teens with type 1 diabetes who are not getting enough sleep. If you are between 14 and 19, use an insulin pump, and typically sleep 7 hours or less on school nights, you may be eligible.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 14–19 - NCT06619860RecruitingPhase 2
VX-993 for diabetic nerve pain
This trial tests a new medicine called VX-993 for people with diabetes who have had nerve pain in both feet or legs for at least a year. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and is safe.
Cullman, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06628908RecruitingPhase 3
Study of suzetrigine for painful diabetic nerve damage
This trial tests an experimental medicine called suzetrigine to see if it can safely reduce pain caused by nerve damage from diabetes (diabetic peripheral neuropathy). It might be an option if you have had daily pain in both legs and current treatments haven't worked well enough.
Anniston, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06610747Recruiting
Home versus hospital care for diabetic eye swelling
This study tests whether receiving anti-VEGF injections for diabetic macular edema (DME) at home is as safe and effective as getting them in the hospital. You would use a home device to check your vision and eye scans, and a nurse would visit for injections.
Dongguan, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06613854RecruitingPhase 4
Early combination therapy for type 2 diabetes
This study tests if starting two newer diabetes drugs (empagliflozin and semaglutide) soon after diagnosis, along with metformin, helps control blood sugar better than metformin alone. It's for people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the last two years who are already taking a high dose of metformin.
LjubljanaAges 18–70 - NCT06603792Recruiting
Brain training for diabetic nerve pain
This study tests whether a brain training method called neurofeedback can help reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes. It may offer a new, non-drug way to manage pain.
OdenseAges 18–82 - NCT06600555Recruiting
Metabolic surgery for diabetes control
This trial tests a type of weight-loss surgery (called metabolic surgery) to see if it helps people with type 2 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control. It's for people who have struggled to manage their diabetes with standard treatments and have a BMI between 30 and 35.
VilleurbanneAges 18–65 - NCT06600412RecruitingPhase 2

- 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.
