This trial tests if a low-carb diet helps teens with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar. It may lead to better control without needing insulin.
This study looks at using a finger-prick test instead of a standard blood draw for the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which measures how your body handles sugar. It may help young people at risk for or with early type 1 diabetes avoid repeated needle sticks.
This study looks at how metabolism and inflammation relate to diabetes risk in teenagers. It may help researchers understand why some teens develop type 2 diabetes.
This study looks at how sleep timing and length relate to blood sugar control in teens with type 2 diabetes. It also checks whether teens who meet certain sleep and blood-sugar targets—and can follow sleep tracking—can take part in the study and feedback sessions.
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.
This study tests a new pill called HDM1002 for adults with type 2 diabetes. It aims to see if it helps control blood sugar when added to your current metformin treatment.
