This early trial studies how blood sugar moves in people after certain weight-loss surgery compared with people without surgery. It may help researchers understand why blood sugar can drop too low and how treatments like atropine affect that process.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT01803451RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tested after gastric bypass for low blood sugar
This early study looks at a gut hormone–based treatment (GLP-1) and how it affects blood sugar and digestion after gastric bypass. It may help people who are having repeated low blood sugar episodes after surgery.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT05399433Recruiting
Studying how sugar metabolism affects immune skin cells in psoriasis
This study looks at how blood sugar control (including diabetes) changes immune cells in the skin for people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It may help researchers understand what drives psoriasis and how it could respond to future treatments.
Nice, Alpes-maritimesAges 18–80 - NCT05317455RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Studying brain sugar changes in adults with risky low blood sugar
This early-stage study looks at how the brain uses sugar in people with type 1 diabetes who have had severe or hard-to-notice low blood sugar. It may help researchers understand the brain effects of low blood sugar and guide safer care.

This study uses special brain and heart scans to see how sugar (glucose) is used in people with alcohol use disorder compared with people without it. It may help researchers understand the brain–heart connection in alcohol use disorder.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 21–65 - NCT06066775Recruiting
Glucose, fats, and brain health in aging
This study looks at how blood sugar and fat levels relate to brain aging over time. It may help understand why some people's brains age faster than others.
Jinan, ShandongAges 50 years+ - NCT07461194Recruiting
Broccoli sprout drink timing for better exercise performance
This study looks at whether taking a drink made from broccoli sprouts at a specific time can improve your endurance performance. If you are a trained cyclist or runner, you might get a boost from this natural supplement.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18–50 - NCT07329231Recruiting
Quinoa for early type 2 diabetes control
This study tests whether adding quinoa to your diet can help manage blood sugar and improve how your body uses insulin. It focuses on people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 20–70 - NCT07420998Recruiting
Carob extract's effect on blood sugar in prediabetes
This study tests whether a nutritional product with carob extract can help people with slightly high blood sugar (glucose intolerance or prediabetes) improve how their body handles carbohydrates. It may help lower blood sugar and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
MurciaAges 18–65 - NCT06862180Recruiting
Meal replacement for diabetes control trial
This trial tests whether replacing one meal a day with a special shake can help people with type 2 diabetes improve their blood sugar control and overall health. If you have type 2 diabetes, take diabetes pills, and your blood sugar is not well controlled (HbA1c 7–10%), you may be able to join.
Kubang Kerian, KelantanAges 30–65 - NCT04328337RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study tests how rising fatty acids affect brain fuel use
This early-phase study will raise fatty acid levels temporarily and see how the brain uses glucose (sugar) and processes energy. It may help researchers understand how metabolism in the body can change brain function.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–45 - NCT06594315Recruiting
Brain metabolism scan using deuterated glucose for glioma patients
This study uses a special sugar drink (deuterated glucose) and an MRI-like scan to measure brain metabolism. It aims to better understand how brain tumors use energy, which could help with treatment decisions in the future.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05775627Recruiting
Study how sleep affects metabolism in healthy adults
This trial studies how changes in sleep and the body’s daily rhythm may affect metabolism (how your body handles energy and sugar). It is for generally healthy, medication-free young adults who follow a controlled diet and sleep schedule.
Portland, OregonAges 18–40 - NCT05737342Recruiting
Test supplement to lower A1c and steady blood sugar
This trial studies ANKASCIN 568-P products to see if they can lower A1c (a blood sugar average) and help regulate blood glucose. It may help people with early blood sugar problems, but you must avoid diabetes medicines during the study.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06507722Recruiting
Night Owl Metabolism Study
This study from Johns Hopkins looks at how your body's metabolism works when you're an overweight teen or young adult who sleeps enough. It aims to learn more about your 'night owl' internal clock and how it affects your health.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–23 - NCT06693934Recruiting
Prevention program for young adults at risk of diabetes
This trial offers a prevention program for young adults aged 18 to 44 who have at least one risk factor for diabetes but do not already have diabetes. The program aims to help prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.

Health supplement study for midlife women
This study tests whether a nutritional supplement can improve metabolic health in women aged 40-60 who are Chinese, Malay, or Indian and have a BMI between 23 and 35. The goal is to see if the supplement helps with weight, blood sugar, and other health markers.
SingaporeAges 40–60 - NCT06746805Recruiting
Ketone drink and exercise fuel use in trained cyclists
This study tests if drinking a ketone supplement before exercise changes how your body uses carbs for fuel. It may help trained cyclists and triathletes understand fuel efficiency.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18–50 - NCT07402382Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for glucose metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 97 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.
