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+ - NCT06763562Recruiting
How food order affects blood sugar and energy use at rest
This study looks at whether the order in which you eat certain foods (edamame, butter, and rice) can change your blood sugar levels and how your body uses energy while resting. It may help people understand simple meal patterns for better health.
Norfolk, VirginiaAges 18–70 - NCT07659444Recruiting
Metformin withdrawal study for metabolic syndrome
This study looks at what happens when people with metabolic syndrome temporarily stop taking metformin. It aims to understand how their bodies respond when the medication is paused for 14 days.
Toledo, ToledoAges 18 years+ - NCT07718048Recruiting
MCT drink study for healthy young adults
This trial tests how different forms of MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oils affect your body's ketone levels, blood fats, and blood sugar. It is for healthy adults aged 18 to 40 who want to help researchers understand these effects.
MilanAges 18–40 - NCT07410637Recruiting
Thyroid hormones and energy in graves' or thyroid cancer
This trial studies how thyroid hormone levels affect your body's use of sugar and energy. It may help people newly diagnosed with Graves' disease or thyroid cancer understand their metabolism better.
Ulm, Baden-WurttembergAges Any age - NCT03540758RecruitingPhase 2
Study of how brain sugar control channels affect blood sugar
This Phase 2 study tests how certain channels in the brain help control how your body makes and releases sugar (glucose). It may help explain blood sugar problems in people with type 2 diabetes and healthy volunteers.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 21–70 - NCT06424106Recruiting
Glucagon & fasting insulin in people without type 2 diabetes
This study looks at how glucagon affects insulin release and blood sugar in people who do not have type 2 diabetes. It may help us understand normal glucose control better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 25–65 - NCT06767722Recruiting
Lifestyle program for high blood sugar in early pregnancy
This trial tests if a lifestyle program (diet and activity changes) can help pregnant women who have slightly high blood sugar in early pregnancy. It aims to improve glucose levels and reduce complications for both mother and baby.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–55 - NCT07443696RecruitingPhase 2
Heart imaging test to see if bypass surgery could help
This study uses two imaging scans to see if parts of your heart muscle are still alive but not working well. This could help doctors decide if you might benefit from heart bypass surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06575426RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing pig pancreas cells for type 1 diabetes
This trial tests a treatment made from pig pancreas cells (OPF-310) to see if it's safe and can help people with unstable type 1 diabetes. The cells are meant to replace the insulin-producing cells your body has lost, potentially reducing dangerous low blood sugar events.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 35–65 - NCT05705804Recruiting
Comparing statins and ezetimibe for heart patients with metabolic syndrome
This trial tests if pitavastatin alone or with ezetimibe affects blood sugar differently than atorvastatin in people who have heart or blood vessel disease and metabolic syndrome but do not have diabetes.
SeoulAges Any age - NCT07065357Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
A study on a diabetes drug for metabolic syndrome
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a medication typically used for diabetes, can help people with metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like large waist size, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure). It may improve health and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Hong KongAges 18–85 - NCT05216042Recruiting
Study of genetics and heart/metabolic health in adults
This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07314489RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Glucose and enzyme function in chronic pancreatitis
This study looks at how chronic pancreatitis affects blood sugar and digestion. It tests if your body makes enough enzymes and how your sugar control changes over time.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06925997RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Bile acids after gastric bypass: metabolic effects study
This trial looks at how bile acids affect metabolism in people who have had gastric bypass surgery. It compares three groups: those who had diabetes before surgery, those without diabetes, and those with type 2 diabetes.
HvidovreAges 18 years+ - NCT06232889Recruiting
Imaging study to check liver tumor response to radiation treatment
This study uses special MRI scans and PET scans to see how liver tumors respond to a radiation treatment called radioembolization (SIRT). The goal is to improve how treatment response is measured in people with metastatic liver disease.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07295600Recruiting
Fruits and vegetables for blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether meals made with local fruits and vegetables can help control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. You will eat special test meals and have your blood sugar checked afterward.
WakisoAges 30–60 - NCT06274749Recruiting
Urolithin A for blood sugar in adults 55+ with extra weight
This study tests if a natural supplement called Urolithin A can help improve how your body handles sugar (glucose) in healthy adults aged 55 and older who have a higher body weight. You would take a daily capsule and come in for tests including blood work, treadmill walks, and an MRI.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 55–100 - NCT07212868RecruitingPhase 1
How glucagon affects blood sugar after weight loss surgery
This study looks at how the hormone glucagon affects blood sugar in people who have had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy surgery more than a year ago, compared to people who have not had any gastrointestinal surgery. It aims to understand glucose metabolism better and may help improve care for people after bariatric surgery.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07415707Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for glucose metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 102 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.
