Study of immune changes in people with type 1 diabetes and other diabetes
This study looks at immune (defense system) and blood-sugar changes in people with type 1 diabetes, and in some other diabetes or autoimmune hormone conditions. It includes people who will have a specific abdominal surgery so doctors can safely study lymph node tissue.

Anhydroglucitol test in children with type 1 diabetes
This trial studies how anhydroglucitol behaves in children with type 1 diabetes who use insulin pump therapy and glucose monitoring. Your team will compare measurements over about a year to see if this marker could be useful for tracking diabetes control.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 2–18 - NCT05641753RecruitingPhase 4
LDL-lowering study for adults with type 1 diabetes
This study looks at cholesterol lowering in adults with type 1 diabetes and whether it reduces “residual risk,” meaning risk that may remain even with current care. You may be asked to take cholesterol-focused treatment and complete blood tests to track LDL (“bad cholesterol”).
New York, New YorkAges 18–89 - NCT05653518Recruiting
Artificial pancreas therapy to steady sugars and protect the heart
This study tests an “artificial pancreas” system that automatically helps control insulin to reduce wide swings in blood sugar. It also aims to see whether steadier sugars can improve heart health in adults with type 1 diabetes.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–40 - NCT05977218Recruiting
Digital diabetes support through healthy eating habits
This trial tests whether a digital program can help people with type 2 diabetes improve healthy eating habits. It may help by supporting healthier food choices through an online system and goal-setting.
LinköpingAges 18–75 - NCT06144554Recruiting
Omnipod 5 pump study for type 1 diabetes
This study follows people with type 1 diabetes who are using the Omnipod 5 insulin pump. The goal is to understand how well the system works in everyday life by collecting data from your pump, continuous glucose monitor, and occasional home blood tests over one year.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 2 years+ - NCT06192693RecruitingPhase 3
Fecal transplant to improve diabetes after weight loss surgery
This trial tests whether transferring healthy stool bacteria from a lean donor can help improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes who still have high blood sugar 1-5 years after weight loss surgery.
ParisAges 18–65 - NCT06273631Recruiting
Carbohydrate intake changes and blood sugar in type 1 diabetes
This trial looks at how changing the amount of carbohydrates you eat affects blood sugar control. It aims to find better ways to manage diabetes through diet.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT06435156RecruitingPhase 2
Sotagliflozin for Heart Failure in Type 1 Diabetes
This trial tests a medication called sotagliflozin for people who have both type 1 diabetes and heart failure symptoms. The goal is to see if it can improve how you feel and manage your heart and diabetes.
AberdeenAges 18–84 - NCT06503809Recruiting
Ketogenic diet study for type 1 diabetes
This study tests if a very low-carb (ketogenic) diet is safe and helps control blood sugar in people with type 1 diabetes. You would follow the diet for a period and use a continuous glucose monitor to track your levels.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–65 - NCT06524960RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Denosumab for Preserving Insulin in Type 1 Diabetes
This study tests if denosumab, a drug normally used for bone health, can help preserve your body's own insulin production in type 1 diabetes. It might slow the loss of insulin-making cells, helping you maintain better blood sugar control over time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for type 2 diabetes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,080 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.
