Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21–80 - NCT04199676Recruiting
Testing blood sugar after delivery for gestational diabetes
This study checks your blood sugar shortly after birth (on day 0 or day 1) to see how well glucose testing works for people who had gestational diabetes. The results may help guide follow-up care and reduce the risk of longer-term blood sugar problems.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04201600Recruiting
Study how blood sugar swings affect thinking in prediabetes
This study looks at how “blood sugar variability” (how much glucose levels bounce around) may affect thinking and memory in people with prediabetes. You may be eligible if you’re older and don’t already have diabetes or conditions that can strongly affect the brain or blood vessels.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 50 years+ - NCT04207619Recruiting
Check an MRI blood-sugar response marker in healthy adults
This study tests whether a substance measured from blood and MRI signals can predict how your body fights low blood sugar. It’s done in healthy adults to see if the marker could help in future low-blood-sugar risk tracking.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 18–40 - NCT04255264Recruiting
Study of fat inflammation in people after gastric bypass
This study looks at “fat inflammation” and diabetes in people who had gastric bypass surgery. It may help doctors understand why some people develop diabetes and how weight-related body changes affect health.
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland CountyAges 18–60 - NCT04334707Recruiting
Study kidney damage in people with long-term diabetes
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04371042Recruiting
Study of liver disease and genes in people with fatty liver
This study collects information about metabolic and unexplained (cryptogenic) liver disease and looks at “omics” tests, which are lab tests that measure patterns in blood or tissue to learn what drives the disease. It may help researchers better understand fatty liver and related serious complications, like liver scarring and liver cancer.
Roma, Rome/lazio/italyAges 18 years+ - NCT04442334Recruiting
European registry for people with fatty liver
This registry collects health and lifestyle information from adults with suspected or confirmed fatty liver (NAFLD) to help researchers better understand the condition. You may be asked about diet, exercise, alcohol intake, and some liver-related tests.
AntwerpAges 18–100 - NCT04460573RecruitingPhase 2
Using a smart boot to improve diabetic foot offloading
This trial studies whether a special “smart boot” can help people with diabetic foot ulcers rest (offload) the affected foot as they should. Better offloading may improve healing by reducing pressure on the wound.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04461821Recruiting
Breath test to study disease in children
This study uses a special machine to analyze exhaled breath to learn about different illnesses in children and teens. It may help researchers find breathing “signals” that reflect conditions like breathing problems, nervous system issues, or new/worsening type 1 diabetes.
BaselAges Up to 22 years - NCT04501406RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose pioglitazone for fatty liver disease in people with type 2 diabetes
This Phase 2 study tests whether low-dose pioglitazone can improve NASH, a type of fatty liver disease, in adults who also have type 2 diabetes. You may be able to join if your diabetes medicines and lab tests meet specific safety and stability requirements.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 21–75 - NCT04505618Recruiting
Eye scan study using special imaging for blood-vessel disease
This study uses a detailed eye scan (optical coherence tomography angiography) to look at how blood vessels in the retina are affected. It may help researchers better understand retinal vascular diseases, though some people will be excluded for safety or image-quality reasons.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04529889Recruiting
Study of gestational diabetes during pregnancy and child outcomes
