Fasting test in people with type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body responds to low blood sugar during a controlled period of fasting. It may help doctors understand the natural defenses your body uses to prevent dangerous lows in type 1 diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 diabetes
- You do not have excess body weight (BMI 30 or lower)
- Your C-peptide test is negative (a lab result related to insulin production)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have certain health problems like nerve, eye, or kidney damage from diabetes
- You are not taking certain medicines that can affect blood sugar responses (for example prednisone, beta-blockers, or some breathing medicines)

This study looks at how the body makes glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar) in children and teens with new type 1 diabetes. It aims to understand why some people may have dangerous low blood sugars, so doctors can better prevent them in the future.
This study tests whether very low-carbohydrate diets change glucagon response in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand how diet affects blood-sugar control in people using insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors.
This study compares a very low carbohydrate diet to a regular diet to see how well blood sugar control works for adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help you understand which eating pattern is easier and safer for managing daily glucose with modern diabetes technology.
This trial tests how two diabetes medications, SGLT2i and pioglitazone, affect ketone production in people with type 1 diabetes. It aims to find new ways to improve blood sugar control.
This study measures how “blood fats” move in the body after fasting and controlled eating, comparing people with type 1 diabetes to those without diabetes. It may help researchers understand diabetes-related differences in lipid (fat) handling and improve future treatments.
This study tests whether intermittent fasting can improve how your body releases and uses insulin if you have prediabetes or early type 2 diabetes. It may help your blood sugar control without using insulin.
