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.

This study tests whether drinking beetroot juice before exercise can improve blood pressure and heart rate response during physical activity in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help understand if this simple dietary addition can make exercise more beneficial for heart health.
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 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.
This trial tests whether a natural nitrate supplement (like beetroot juice) can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel function in people with resistant hypertension. If you have resistant hypertension and your medications have been stable for at least 30 days, you may be eligible.
