This study tests whether specific dietary strategies can help people with type 2 diabetes reach remission (better blood sugar without ongoing high medication needs). You may be a good candidate if your diabetes is relatively recent, your weight is above a certain threshold, and your heart and other health conditions are stable.
This trial studies whether a very low-calorie, low-carb diet (VLCKD) can improve metabolic health in adults with metabolic syndrome, fatty liver, and type 2 diabetes. It may help lower blood sugar and improve related health markers if you fit their specific diabetes and liver/kidney criteria.
This trial tests a type of weight-loss surgery (called metabolic surgery) to see if it helps people with type 2 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control. It's for people who have struggled to manage their diabetes with standard treatments and have a BMI between 30 and 35.
This study looks at how body fat is stored and how that may relate to early improvements in diabetes and heart/liver health after bariatric surgery. It may help researchers understand why some people recover faster and which body changes matter.
This study tests whether reducing liver fat can improve health in people with type 2 diabetes. It looks at the effects of a specific medication combined with exercise, tailored for those who are not very active.
This study tests whether a carefully designed low-carb diet can help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar better. If you qualify, you'll follow a special meal plan and be monitored for improvements.
