Measuring insulin production in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests how well your body makes insulin by having you drink a Boost shake and checking your blood. It's designed for people with type 2 diabetes who are not yet on insulin.

This study tests whether a treatment can help your pancreas make more insulin and possibly put your type 2 diabetes into remission. It is for people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the last 5 years who are already on diabetes medication.
This study tests if a high-protein diabetes shake can help people with type 2 diabetes who are starting a new class of diabetes medications (GLP-1 or GIP receptor agonists) lose weight and improve body composition. Participants will either take the shake or a placebo drink for several weeks.
This study tests whether controlled exposure to cold—which causes your body to shiver and produce heat—can help your body use insulin better. You'll undergo repeated cold sessions over several weeks while researchers monitor your blood sugar control and metabolism.
This trial tests an experimental drug called SHR-3167 in people with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see how the drug works in the body and how it affects blood sugar. It may be an option for adults who have had diabetes for at least 6 months.
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 uses math models to understand how your blood sugar and hormones respond to food and insulin. You'll eat study foods and provide blood samples so researchers can better predict how your body handles diabetes.
