Low-carb diet study and how glucagon affects diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether very low-carbohydrate diets change glucagon response in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand how diet affects blood-sugar control in people using insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 diabetes for at least 1 year
- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- You use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and an insulin pump
- Your BMI is between 18.5 and 35
- Your diabetes control is stable, with HbA1c between 6.5% and 9%
- You can follow study food plans (not on diets you must restrict for weight loss or similar reasons)

This study compares a very low carbohydrate diet to a regular diet to see how well blood sugar control works for adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help you understand which eating pattern is easier and safer for managing daily glucose with modern diabetes technology.
This study tests whether a “ketosis” state changes brain function in adults with type 1 diabetes. You may be asked to follow specific diet/food delivery plans and use devices that track glucose, which could help researchers understand how metabolism affects the brain.
This study looks at how the body makes glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar) in children and teens with new type 1 diabetes. It aims to understand why some people may have dangerous low blood sugars, so doctors can better prevent them in the future.
This study looks at how your body responds to low blood sugar during a controlled period of fasting. It may help doctors understand the natural defenses your body uses to prevent dangerous lows in type 1 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.
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.
