Insulin pulses during fasting study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests how insulin, given in pulses or continuously, affects your body during a fast. It may help researchers understand better ways to manage blood sugar in people with early blood sugar issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your fasting blood sugar is either normal or slightly high (but not diabetic).
- Your body can handle sugar in a normal or slightly impaired way.
- Your HbA1c (average blood sugar over 3 months) is below 6.5%.
- Your BMI is under 35.
- You are not taking any diabetes medications like metformin or sulfonylureas.

This study looks at how glucagon affects insulin release and blood sugar in people who do not have type 2 diabetes. It may help us understand normal glucose control better.
This study looks at how a hormone called GLP-1, made in the pancreas, affects blood sugar levels in people with borderline high blood sugar (prediabetes). It may help find new ways to prevent diabetes.
This study tests whether intermittent fasting can improve how your body releases and uses insulin if you have prediabetes or early type 2 diabetes. It may help your blood sugar control without using insulin.
This study uses a continuous glucose monitor to help people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes better manage their blood sugar and weight, and will test how well it works in a real-world workplace setting.
This study looks at how sending certain fats through the intestine affects “insulin resistance,” a condition where the body doesn’t use insulin as well. If you qualify, you may receive a controlled lipid (fat) delivery as part of measuring body fat handling and related body chemistry.
This study tests different types of intermittent fasting (like skipping some meals or eating only during certain hours) to see how they affect blood sugar, inflammation, and overall health in people with prediabetes. If you have higher-than-normal blood sugar but not diabetes yet, this trial might help you find a way to lower it.
