Canadian Bone Strength Development Study for Kids with Type 1 Diabetes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how bones grow stronger in children with type 1 diabetes compared to typically developing children. Researchers will measure bone strength using special scans and other simple tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether using an automated insulin delivery system (a smart pump that adjusts insulin based on sensor readings) can help improve blood sugar control and bone health in adults with Type 1 diabetes who have high and unstable blood sugars.
This study looks at how blood vessels and blood pressure change in children soon after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It may help doctors better understand early vascular risk and how to monitor it.
This study looks at whether muscle loss (sarcopenia) is related to diabetic nerve damage in adults with type 1 diabetes. If you join, you will help researchers understand this connection better.
This study checks whether a resistance (strength) exercise program changes blood sugar levels in post-menopausal women with type 1 diabetes. You may be asked to do supervised lab-based exercise sessions near the University of Alberta.
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 estimates the chance of developing type 1 diabetes in children by using information gathered during regular well-child visits. It may help identify children who could benefit from earlier monitoring.
