Liraglutide injections vs insulin for uncontrolled type 2 diabetes
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatment approaches—liraglutide injections versus a specific insulin (glargine) injection—plus meal-time insulin dosing (“bolus”) in adults with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes that isn’t well controlled. The goal is to see which option works better and is safer for improving blood sugar.

This study is testing two weight-loss medications: liraglutide alone or combined with orlistat. It is for adults who are overweight or obese and have certain related health conditions like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see which treatment works better for long-term weight loss.
This study tests whether a new injection that combines insulin with liraglutide works better than standard premixed insulin for people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to improve blood sugar control and simplify treatment.
This study tests if combining exercise with a drug called liraglutide improves blood vessel health and insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes. It looks at whether these treatments work better together or alone.
This study compares a weekly injection called semaglutide with a calorie-restricted diet to see which helps control blood sugar better. If you have just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and have overweight, this trial might help you choose a treatment path.
This study tests two different medicines (empagliflozin or semaglutide) added to your usual insulin to see if they help with blood sugar control and weight loss in people with type 1 diabetes who are overweight or have obesity. It may be a good fit if your diabetes is not well controlled with insulin injections alone.
This study compares a continuous “under the skin” diabetes medicine (called beinaglutide) with an insulin pump (CSII) in people who were recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for controlling blood sugar.
