Measuring blood flow in people with type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a simple, noninvasive technique (photoplethysmography) to measure blood flow in the legs of people with type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors better detect and monitor peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition that narrows arteries and can lead to leg pain or poor healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old (no upper age limit).
- You have type 2 diabetes, diagnosed by standard blood sugar tests or symptoms.
- You have a doctor visit scheduled to check for or follow up on peripheral artery disease (PAD).
- You have health insurance (social security coverage).
- You are able to lie still for measurements (no acute pain, tremors, or severe leg infections).
- You have not had a major leg amputation (above the ankle or below the knee).

This study uses ultrasound (an imaging test) to measure the nerves in the legs of people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage. It helps doctors learn more about how diabetes affects nerves.
This study uses a special noninvasive test to measure blood-flow pressure in children and teens. It aims to see how these measurements differ in teens with type 1 diabetes and in teens with obesity, which may help improve understanding and care.
This trial is testing a new way to check for blocked arteries in people with diabetes who have foot ulcers. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors diagnose blood flow problems more accurately.
This study uses a noninvasive light scanner to measure oxygen levels in leg tissues. It may help detect blocked leg arteries (peripheral artery disease) more easily.
This study measures how blood flows through your foot using ultrasound to see if it can predict serious problems with your leg or heart in people with severe circulation problems. The goal is to find a simple test that helps doctors decide the best treatment for you.
This study tests a special camera (SnapshotNIR) that takes pictures of blood flow in your legs while you move them into different positions. It may help doctors better understand your circulation and diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) without needles or dye.
