Testing nitrate to improve red blood cell function in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether taking nitrate can improve how red blood cells work in people with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to follow a specific plan and avoid certain foods or medicines that could affect the results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes
- You should not currently be on a vegetarian diet
- You should not have kidney problems that are severe enough to be considered “impaired renal function”
- You should not have had recent “acute coronary syndrome” (a serious, sudden heart problem)
- You should not have heart failure with an ejection fraction under 35%

This study tests if taking taurine and nitrate supplements can help people with type 2 diabetes better manage their body temperature. It aims to see if these supplements improve how the body handles heat.
This study tests whether drinking beetroot juice helps improve how your heart and blood vessels respond to exercise. You'll do light cycling while researchers measure your heart's performance and blood pressure.
This trial tests whether adding a nitrate supplement to metformin helps people with prediabetes. It looks at how the two treatments interact, especially when you start exercising. The study might help you if you have prediabetes, are between 18 and 60 years old, and don't exercise much.
This trial tests whether a nitrate-rich food supplement can improve blood flow in the brain and help thinking and memory. It is for people with small vessel disease in the brain or diabetes who are at risk for cognitive decline.
This study tests whether taking a nitrate supplement (from foods like beets) while doing a guided exercise program helps older adults get more health benefits from exercise. Researchers want to see if nitrates improve heart and muscle function.
This study checks how an acute (short-term) nitrate supplement affects how well your blood vessels work. It may help researchers understand whether these effects differ among Hispanic, Black, and White participants, in otherwise healthy adults.
