Study how fatigue happens in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at why people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes may feel unusually tired during activities. You may be asked to do exercise testing and answer questions to help researchers understand the body changes behind fatigue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult between 30 and 85 years old
- Have blood sugar results in one of these ranges: prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes with HbA1c over 6.5% but under 10%
- Or be in the control group with normal blood sugar (HbA1c 5.6% or lower and fasting glucose 99 mg/dL or lower)
- Do not have signs or symptoms of nerve damage (neuropathy)
- Must not use insulin or other medications linked to more advanced type 2 diabetes
- Do not have uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c above 10%) and do not have smoking or uncontrolled medical conditions like untreated thyroid problems, hypertension, or heart/muscle issues that block exercise testing

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how low physical activity, insulin resistance in small blood vessels, and cardiorespiratory fitness connect to diabetes and blood sugar control. You may be eligible if you are generally sedentary and fit within the weight range, and if you do not have certain heart, lung, nerve, or medication factors.
This study looks at differences in body fat to understand why some people develop type 2 diabetes. You may be asked for blood tests and health information to see if your diabetes risk and body fat patterns are linked.
This study compares two exercise programs (short bursts of intense activity vs. longer, steady exercise) to see which works better for people with prediabetes. It may help you prevent or manage diabetes through a structured fitness routine.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve how your body uses insulin. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin and have had diabetes for 1 to 5 years.
This study looks at how pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes may change skeletal muscle loss and recovery in older adults after a period of bed rest. It may help researchers understand why recovery can be slower and how to better protect muscle in people as they age.
This study measures immune cells from your blood to find markers (biomarkers) that may explain or predict diabetic cardiomyopathy, a type of heart condition linked to diabetes. You may benefit mainly by being closely monitored and contributing to research that could improve future diagnosis or risk tracking.
