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 - NCT05548205Recruiting
Glucose monitoring for people starting insulin after hospital discharge
This study checks whether using a continuous glucose monitor for 2 weeks after you leave the hospital helps you manage blood sugar better when you are newly starting insulin. It may help your care team adjust insulin and track glucose trends more closely right after discharge.
Mineola, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT05277558Recruiting
MRI and brain testing in teens at risk for type 2 diabetes
This study looks at brain health in teens with normal weight, overweight, or obesity who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand how weight and diabetes risk affect the brain, using MRI scans and learning/memory tests.
St Louis, MissouriAges 12–17 - NCT05317585Recruiting
Continuous glucose monitor use during early pregnancy with type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor during pregnancy is useful for people with type 2 diabetes. It may help track blood sugar levels more closely to support safer pregnancy care.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05258292Recruiting
Track blood sugar changes with your period in type 1 diabetes
This study monitors how your blood sugar (glucose) changes across your menstrual cycle using a continuous glucose monitor. It may help researchers understand patterns that could improve diabetes care around monthly hormonal changes.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–50 - NCT05266417RecruitingPhase 2
Nasal insulin plus glutathione for Parkinson’s symptoms
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding nasal insulin and glutathione can improve Parkinson’s disease symptoms and function. You would use study medicine through the nose while keeping your other treatments mostly the same during the trial.
Davie, FloridaAges 30 years+ - NCT04984226RecruitingPhase 2
Sodium bicarbonate for kidney disease energy and acidity
This trial studies whether taking sodium bicarbonate changes “energy” in cells and improves metabolic acidosis (an acid build-up) in people with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. You may be able to join if your kidney function and blood bicarbonate levels fit their targets and you meet safety rules.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 21–85 - NCT04791371Recruiting
Study how fitness and insulin resistance relate to diabetes
This study looks at how low physical activity, insulin resistance in small blood vessels, and cardiorespiratory fitness connect to diabetes and blood sugar control. You may be eligible if you are generally sedentary and fit within the weight range, and if you do not have certain heart, lung, nerve, or medication factors.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 30–55 - NCT04812314Recruiting
Study how exercise changes body fat and metabolism
This study looks at how starting exercise changes the structure and function of body fat. It may help you understand how exercise affects things like cholesterol and blood sugar, even if you’re not currently exercising regularly.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–40 - NCT04783441Recruiting
Continuous glucose sensor study after kidney transplant
This study checks whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a sensor that tracks sugar throughout the day) is helpful and practical for people with a recent kidney transplant and type 2 diabetes on insulin. You may need to wear the sensor continuously and still do finger-stick glucose checks for safety.
