This trial looks at fat stored around the heart in people with type 2 diabetes, using samples already collected from a larger study. Researchers want to understand how this fat relates to diabetes, but it does not test any new drug or treatment.
This study looks at how free fatty acids affect people with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. You may be able to join if you are overweight, have high blood sugar, and are not on certain diabetes medications.
This trial tests how combining a ketone supplement with certain diabetes medicines affects blood sugar and ketone levels. It may help adults with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin or certain other drugs.
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 is a screening study to identify and understand people with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar isn't well controlled, so they can potentially join future diabetes research trials. You won't receive a new treatment in this study—it's about getting to know your health history and seeing if you might be a good fit for upcoming studies.
