Recruiting studies
- NCT03994367Recruiting
Study of diet protein types and how they affect blood sugar

Time-restricted eating for PCOS with glucose issues during IVF
This study tests whether a time-restricted eating plan (eating only during certain hours of the day) can improve pregnancy rates in women with PCOS and glucose metabolism problems who are undergoing IVF. The goal is to see if this eating pattern helps your body respond better to treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–38 - NCT04008147Recruiting
Testing iron-related hormones and sugar levels in mid-pregnancy
This study looks at how the hormone hepcidin and blood sugar/metabolism change during pregnancy, and how they respond to either stopping iron supplements briefly or taking a specific prenatal iron-containing multivitamin. It may help doctors better understand iron balance in pregnancy and how it could affect metabolism.
ZurichAges 18–45 - NCT06647368Recruiting
Measuring brain sugar use with glucagon
This study tests a new way to measure how the brain uses sugar (glucose) to see if the hormone glucagon affects it. It may help researchers understand how certain hormones work in the body.

How your body processes food after a meal
This study looks at how young, healthy adults break down food after eating. It uses blood tests and a metabolic challenge to measure energy use and chemical changes.
Mexico CityAges 18–30 - NCT07020741Recruiting
Stable isotope study in adults with obesity
This study uses a special test (stable isotopes) to learn about how adults with obesity process food and energy. It may help researchers understand weight and metabolism better.
Urbana, IllinoisAges 19–59 - NCT07613307RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new pill for type 2 diabetes during Ramadan fasting
This study tests an oral medication called orforglipron to see if it safely helps people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar while they fast during Ramadan. You may be a good fit if you are planning to fast and your diabetes is not too severe.
AgraAges 18–65 - NCT06535789RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Inhaled insulin vs injections for gestational diabetes
This trial compares an inhaled insulin (Afrezza) to insulin injections for managing blood sugar after meals in women with gestational diabetes. The goal is to see if the inhaled option works as well and is easier to use.
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaAges 18–40 - NCT07699380RecruitingPhase 2
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 - NCT06334172Recruiting
Can oxytocin control blood sugar?
This trial tests if the hormone oxytocin helps control blood sugar levels. It may offer insight into new ways to manage glucose. You may be a good fit if you are a healthy adult with a normal BMI.
Hellerup, Capital RegionAges 20–50 - NCT04039763Recruiting
Glucose monitoring for young adults at risk of DKA
This study tests a real-time glucose monitor (RT-CGM) to help young adults with insulin-treated diabetes recognize dangerously high or fast-changing blood sugars. It may help lower the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious complication that can lead to urgent care or hospital stays.
LondonAges 18–25 - NCT07426211Recruiting
Shift work and health effects for hospital staff
This study looks at how shift work affects blood sugar and fat levels in hospital employees. It compares people who work night shifts with those who don't, to see if shift work changes these health markers.
BerlinAges 18–67 - 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 - NCT06557317Recruiting
Lifestyle program for Black teen girls at risk for type 2 diabetes
This study tests if an in-person lifestyle program can help prevent type 2 diabetes in Black adolescent girls who have obesity. The program involves both the teen and a caregiver who prepares most of the household meals.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 12–18 - NCT06674980Recruiting
Testing placenta-based wound treatment for diabetic and venous leg ulcers
This trial tests if adding a special placenta-based wound covering to standard care helps heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster. It's for people with wounds that haven't healed after standard treatment for at least 4 weeks.
Metairie, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07360249Recruiting
Testing different sugar mixes for endurance exercise
This study tests how different ratios of glucose and fructose (two types of sugar) affect your body during long exercise sessions. It may help athletes find the best fuel for endurance training.
Bath, BathAges 18 years+ - NCT06930976Recruiting
Tracing sugar use in immune cells
This study uses a special sugar (glucose) to see how your immune cells use energy. You drink a labeled sugar, then give blood samples so researchers can track it.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05085704Recruiting
Brain scans to study metabolism in healthy and diabetic people
This study uses MRI brain scans at different strengths to measure how the brain uses energy (metabolism) in health and in people with genetically confirmed G1D. It may help researchers understand brain energy changes related to metabolic disease and diabetes.
New York, New YorkAges 16–80 - NCT05998772Recruiting
How sugar affects Parkinsons symptoms
This study looks at how sugar levels might change the way Parkinsons disease feels. If you have mild to moderate Parkinsons, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about the role of food in your symptoms.
KielAges 50–80 - NCT07543705Recruiting
Blood Sugar Changes During Endurance Exercise
This study examines how your blood sugar levels change when you exercise. Researchers will monitor your glucose (blood sugar) during endurance activities to better understand how your body responds to exercise.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for glucose metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 101 recruiting glucose metabolism 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 glucose metabolism 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 glucose metabolism 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.
