How the body loses vitamin C in diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at why people with diabetes may lose more vitamin C in their urine than people without diabetes. By understanding this difference, researchers hope to better understand how diabetes affects the body's nutrition.

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.
This study looks at how genes, proteins, and other molecules in the body relate to heart and blood vessel problems in people with diabetes. By analyzing samples from patients who have had coronary angiography, researchers hope to find new ways to prevent or treat these complications.
This study looks at how long-term diabetes affects people with cystic fibrosis. It helps researchers understand complications and improve care.
This early-stage study tests whether vitamin C (and possibly how your body uses it) affects blood vessel function in people with obesity and insulin resistance. You may be asked to stop certain supplements before starting so researchers can measure the effect more clearly.
This study looks at why people with type 2 diabetes develop heart problems. Researchers will examine special cells in your blood and inflammation markers to better understand these complications.
This study looks at how vitamin D levels and cholesterol (fats in the blood) are related in people who have both type 2 diabetes and obesity. The goal is to learn more about these connections, which might help improve care for this group.
