Recruiting studies
- NCT03460769Recruiting
Mixed meal test to study diabetes from pancreas conditions
This study uses a special blood-sugar test (a mixed meal) to better diagnose and understand diabetes related to pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis, and to compare it with other diabetes types. It may help researchers find clearer ways to tell these diabetes causes apart and understand how they work.

GLP-1 drug for early type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of medicine that helps control blood sugar and appetite) can improve metabolic health in people with early type 1 diabetes. It may be an option if you have already taken teplizumab to delay the disease or were recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 12–50 - NCT05505669Recruiting
Blood test study to track markers in diabetes
This study measures “circulating biomarkers” (blood-based signals) in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and in some people without diabetes who test positive for certain diabetes antibodies. The goal is to understand what these blood signals can tell us about diabetes development and progression.

Diet study to improve blood sugar control in new diabetes
This study looks at how carbohydrate intake may affect how well insulin-producing cells work and how stable your blood sugar becomes in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. It may help families learn dietary steps that improve glucose control early on.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 5–12 - NCT06283797Recruiting
Automated insulin early after type 1 diabetes diagnosis in kids

Study on long-term safety of mexiletine for myotonic dystrophy
This study tests if a daily capsule of mexiletine is safe and helpful over 26 weeks for people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 or 2. It's for people who finished a previous related study and want to continue treatment.
LeuvenAges 16 years+ - NCT05777330Recruiting
Monitoring blood sugar swings to predict type 1 diabetes
This study watches blood sugar changes over time in people who do not yet have diabetes but have test results that suggest risk for type 1 diabetes. The goal is to see whether “blood sugar variability” can predict when high or low blood sugar may happen, even before symptoms.
Liège, LiègeAges 5–39 - NCT06264258Recruiting
Game-based diabetes education for kids
This study tests a fun video game to help children aged 6–12 with type 1 diabetes learn about managing their condition. It may improve how kids check their blood sugar and take insulin.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 6–12 - NCT07428187Recruiting
Snacking effects on brain response and fullness during dieting
This trial tests how eating a daily snack of walnuts or pretzels affects your brain's response to food and feelings of fullness while you are on a weight-loss diet. You must be willing to follow a structured meal plan and have an MRI scan.

Stem cell therapy for severe low blood sugar in diabetes
This trial tests a new treatment made from stem cells that may help people with diabetes who have dangerous low blood sugar episodes. It aims to see if these cells can replace some of the pancreas function and prevent severe hypoglycemia.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for type 2 diabetes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,079 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.
