Recruiting studies
- NCT03746769RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing gastrin to improve results of islet cell transplant
This trial looks at whether adding gastrin can improve outcomes after an islet cell transplant for people with type 1 diabetes. It may help some participants achieve better blood sugar control, but it also requires close follow-up and immune-suppressing medications to protect the new cells.

Smartphone-based research study for people with type 1 diabetes
This study is a multi-site project designed for people who have type 1 diabetes and can use a smartphone app (WeChat or a similar app). It aims to collect research information in a way that’s easier to follow day to day, which may help improve future care for type 1 diabetes.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT04629586Recruiting
T1D Exchange registry for people with type 1 diabetes
This trial registry collects information about people living with type 1 diabetes to help researchers better understand the condition. It may help by allowing future studies and improving how care is studied and planned.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06115876Recruiting
Kuwait diabetes long-term follow-up study
This study checks in on people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes who were part of an earlier Kuwait diabetes study. It aims to understand how their condition has changed and what health care they may need.
Kuwait CityAges 21–75 - NCT06141434Recruiting
Maternal Exposures and Baby Diabetes Risk Study
This study follows pregnant women and their babies to learn how early-life factors may affect the risk of type 1 diabetes. If your baby has a parent or sibling with type 1 diabetes, you may be able to join.
Aurora, ColoradoAges birth–99 years - NCT07864168Recruiting
Long-lasting glucose sensor study for type 1 and type 2 diabetes
This study tests a new extended-wear sensor that helps track glucose levels continuously. It is designed to see if a next-generation sensor is accurate and safe for people with diabetes.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 2–80 - NCT03132129Recruiting
Heart imaging study in adults with type 2 diabetes
This study looks for early, “silent” changes in heart function in adults with type 2 diabetes, even if you feel okay. It uses heart scans and looks for factors that may help explain why these changes happen.
LeicesterAges 50–75 - NCT02973412Recruiting
How sleep timing affects blood sugar in diabetes
This study looks at your daily sleep–wake timing (“chronotype”) and how it may affect blood sugar control in people with diabetes. It may help researchers learn whether sleep patterns could improve glucose levels.
LeicesterAges 18–75 - NCT07862101Recruiting
Screening for type 1 diabetes risk in children with celiac disease
This study checks children with celiac disease for early signs of type 1 diabetes. It may help identify risk early so that complications can be prevented.
Bari, BAAges 1–18 - NCT04011020RecruitingPhase 3
Stem cell treatment for type 1 diabetes
This study tests a treatment that uses a patient's own immune cells to help the body make more insulin. It may help people with type 1 diabetes manage their blood sugar better.
Paramus, New JerseyAges 10 years+ - NCT05678543Recruiting
Diabetes family registry for mothers, partners, and children
This study builds a registry to learn about diabetes in families over time. It includes mothers with diabetes, their partners, and their children, to help researchers understand how diabetes affects families.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT05692778Recruiting
Care program for people with diabetes and foot problems

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 862 recruiting type 1 diabetes 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 type 1 diabetes 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 type 1 diabetes 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.
