Boulogne-sur-Mer, Pas-de-CalaisAges 18 years+ - NCT05499702RecruitingPhase 2
Glucagon test after dieting in type 2 diabetes
This Phase 2 study tests how glucagon affects sugar and fat handling in the liver after a short period of calorie restriction. It may help researchers understand metabolic changes in people with type 2 diabetes and guide future treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 25–65 - NCT05537662Recruiting
Testing a wearable system to reduce diabetic nerve back pain
This study tests an Abbott device that uses sensing and electrical stimulation to help reduce chronic back and/or leg pain. It also tracks pain changes and diabetic control using wearables and regular questionnaires to see if the system improves outcomes.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05543083Recruiting
Therapy plus exercise for teens at risk of type 2 diabetes
This trial tests whether a combination of coaching (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and exercise can improve mood and help teens who are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes. It may be especially helpful if you’re dealing with depression symptoms and a family history of type 2 diabetes.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–17 - NCT05545306Recruiting
Study tests how extra calories change your daily energy use
This study looks at how eating more calories affects your body’s natural heat production and total energy use over a full day. It may help researchers better understand how the body manages weight and energy.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–60 - NCT05548205Recruiting
Glucose monitoring for people starting insulin after hospital discharge
This study checks whether using a continuous glucose monitor for 2 weeks after you leave the hospital helps you manage blood sugar better when you are newly starting insulin. It may help your care team adjust insulin and track glucose trends more closely right after discharge.
Mineola, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT05555095Recruiting
Digital care programs for people on Medicaid
