Metabolic study to improve insulin sensitivity in type 1 diabetes
This study tests a new medication to see if it can improve how your body responds to insulin and boost your cells' energy (mitochondrial function). It is for adults with type 1 diabetes who are already on insulin and have good overall health.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–69 - NCT04943926Recruiting
Diet changes to help put type 2 diabetes into remission
This study tests whether specific dietary strategies can help people with type 2 diabetes reach remission (better blood sugar without ongoing high medication needs). You may be a good candidate if your diabetes is relatively recent, your weight is above a certain threshold, and your heart and other health conditions are stable.
Bergen, VestlandAges 24–70 - NCT05046483Recruiting
Blood sugar study after a new heart attack
This study measures how your body handles sugar and related hormones in people after a new STEMI heart attack, and compares them with people who do not have diabetes or have prediabetes. The goal is to better understand metabolic changes after the event, which could help future care.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–80 - NCT05065372RecruitingPhase 1
Metformin test with automated insulin in teens with type 1
This Phase 1 study tests how adding metformin affects blood flow in the kidneys, insulin sensitivity, and overall heart/metabolic health in young people with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand whether this combo is safe and beneficial alongside automated or pump/shot insulin care.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–25 - NCT05112588Recruiting
Preventing diabetes after gestational diabetes
This study looks at ways to lower the chance of developing diabetes after pregnancy in people who had gestational diabetes. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to join follow-up through routine child health care and complete study activities online.
SkövdeAges 18–60 - NCT05172089Recruiting
Treating recurring infection in diabetic foot ulcers

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diabetes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,208 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.
