How sugar swings may affect brain and eating in type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether changes in blood sugar (“sugar swings”) affect brain functioning and eating behaviors in adults with type 1 diabetes. You would likely track your blood sugar and complete computer-based tasks or questionnaires to help researchers understand these links.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 diabetes for more than 12 months
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- Your recent A1C is between 6.5% and 9%
- You do not have type 2 diabetes or another type of diabetes
- You do not have a condition called gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying)
- You can use a computer and have corrected vision/hearing well enough for the study

This study is looking for adults with type 1 diabetes to help improve guidelines for preventing and treating low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The goal is to make recommendations that are more practical and safer for people like you.
This study looks at how different insulin delivery methods (like injections or pumps) affect eating behaviors in people with type 1 diabetes. By joining, you may help researchers learn how to improve care and quality of life.
This trial looks at how changing the amount of carbohydrates you eat affects blood sugar control. It aims to find better ways to manage diabetes through diet.
This study looks at how not feeling symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia unawareness) affects behavior and thinking in children with type 1 diabetes. It aims to understand these challenges better so doctors can find ways to help.
This study looks at whether the way the brain uses sugar (glucose) in people with type 2 diabetes can improve, and whether changes track with tighter diabetes treatment. You may get brain scans (MRI/MRS) and diabetes monitoring to see if there’s “reversibility” in the brain’s sugar transport.
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.
