Ultrasound Nerve Stimulation for Diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether focused ultrasound can help people with type 2 diabetes by gently stimulating nerves. It may offer a new way to improve glucose control without medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had type 2 diabetes for at least 3 months
- You are 18 to 80 years old
- You manage your diabetes through diet, exercise, or oral medications (like metformin) — not insulin or GLP-1 shots
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or less
- You are willing to wear a continuous glucose monitor for 10 days and attend study visits

This study tests whether a series of ultrasound treatments can improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to stay on your current diabetes pills and avoid certain other medicines during the study.
This study tests how your body responds to insulin by using a special test called a pancreatic clamp. It may help researchers understand insulin resistance better and find new ways to treat it.
This study tests whether using ultrasound scans in diabetes clinics can help people avoid insulin-induced lipohypertrophy (lumps under the skin from injections). It is for people with diabetes who use insulin injections or a pump and have unstable glucose levels despite using a continuous glucose monitor.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation can improve blood sugar control in people who are overweight and not very active. It’s designed for people with low exercise habits and will compare how your blood sugar responds to the intervention.
This study tests a new medication to see if it can improve how your body responds to insulin and boost your cells' energy (mitochondrial function). It is for adults with type 1 diabetes who are already on insulin and have good overall health.
This study uses ultrasound to examine nerves in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their legs or feet. Researchers will compare ultrasound findings with blood tests to understand why some people develop this complication and how to better detect it early.
