Whey protein drink for blood sugar in older adults with type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether a whey protein drink can help improve blood sugar control in people aged 70-90 with type 2 diabetes. It involves 5 visits to a research center over a few weeks.
Birmingham, West MidlandsAges 70–90 - NCT07065591RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Metformin, Exercise, and Diet for Knee Osteoarthritis

- 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.
