A condition where the body can’t use insulin properly, raising blood sugar. We’re tracking 1,059 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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.

Tau PET brain scan study for people without dementia
This trial studies how tau (a protein linked to Alzheimer’s and related conditions) shows up on a special brain scan called tau PET. It also uses MRI and blood work to understand brain changes and who may be at risk, helping researchers improve future diagnosis.
New York, New YorkAges 55–69 - NCT03307486Enrolling by invitation
Study of gestational diabetes during pregnancy
This study follows pregnant people to understand gestational diabetes (high blood sugar during pregnancy) and how it shows up and is monitored. It may help improve future screening and care for gestational diabetes.
São PauloAges Any age - NCT03264352RecruitingPhase 4
Treatment for slightly high blood pressure in type 2 diabetes
This trial tests an intervention to help adults with type 2 diabetes who have “high-normal” blood pressure (not severely high). If you qualify, you may learn whether this approach improves blood pressure and related health outcomes over time.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 45–79 - NCT02818192Recruiting
Kid-focused study to track kidney issues in type 2 diabetes
This study follows young people with type 2 diabetes to better understand risks for kidney problems over time. It may help researchers find earlier warning signs and improve care for adolescents living with type 2 diabetes.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 10–18 - NCT01511393Enrolling by invitation
Tracking people with thyroid cancer to learn its course
This study follows adults who have medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) to learn how the cancer behaves over time. It may help by improving future care and follow-up strategies for people with MTC.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT01779115Enrolling by invitation
Diabetes registry for people with diagnosed high blood sugar
This is a research registry that collects information from people who have diabetes (high blood sugar on tests or based on diabetes treatment). It may help researchers understand diabetes patterns in a real-world healthcare system.

Study of metabolism issues in Greenland
This study looks at the genes and physical traits of people in Greenland with type 2 diabetes or severe obesity. It aims to better understand these conditions to improve care.

Australia menopause registry study
This study is building a registry to better understand and support Australians going through perimenopause or menopause. By joining, you help researchers learn about the experiences and needs of people in this stage of life.

Metabolic therapy to improve insulin sensitivity in type 1 diabetes
This trial tests a drug that may help your body use insulin better and improve how your cells produce energy. It might lead to better blood sugar control and less insulin needed.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–69 - NCT07608055Recruiting
Pancreas Removal and Metabolic Health in Non-Diabetic Patients
This study follows patients who are having part or all of their pancreas removed due to disease. Researchers want to understand how this surgery affects blood sugar control, weight, and overall health in people without diabetes before surgery.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for type 2 diabetes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,059 recruiting type 2 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 2 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 2 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.
