Artificial sweeteners and blood sugar in type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether artificial sweeteners affect blood sugar levels in people with type 1 diabetes. If you use an insulin pump and have well-controlled diabetes, you may be able to join.

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 whether changes in blood sugar (“sugar swings”) affect brain functioning and eating behaviors in adults with type 1 diabetes. You would likely track your blood sugar and complete computer-based tasks or questionnaires to help researchers understand these links.
This study looks at how sweet taste is sensed in people with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or no diabetes. It involves taste tests and possibly brain scans (MRI) to help understand why people with diabetes may perceive sweetness differently.
This study looks at how a sweet drink with no sugar affects heart health and blood sugar in young people with type 1 diabetes. You will drink a zero-calorie Gatorade and have a few tests to check your blood vessels and metabolism.
This study tests whether eating non-nutritive sweeteners changes how your body handles sugar (glucose control). It may help researchers learn if sweeteners are helpful or harmful for people with prediabetes.
This trial tests how two artificial sweeteners (sucralose and saccharin) affect blood sugar and gut bacteria in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to find out if these sweeteners are safe and helpful for managing diabetes in the short term.
