Study of prediabetes in obese adults at risk for diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how obesity and prediabetes or very early type 2 diabetes are connected. It aims to find ways to predict who will develop diabetes, so doctors can help prevent it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at adults with prediabetes—specifically abnormal fasting and/or 2-hour blood sugar tests—to see whether a treatment helps improve sugar control. You may also be compared with people who have normal blood sugar (the control group).
This study looks for people who are at high risk of developing prediabetes (but don't have it yet) and tests whether early monitoring with a continuous glucose monitor can help prevent it. It's a good fit if you're 35 or older with a high diabetes risk score but normal blood sugar levels.
This study looks at how your body processes fat after eating and measures certain blood markers to understand who might develop diabetes or complications. You'll eat a high-fat meal and have blood drawn to help doctors identify early warning signs.
This trial tests a new Chinese herbal formula to help control blood sugar in people with early type 2 diabetes. It is for people who have not used diabetes medications for at least 3 months and want to try a natural approach.
This study tests two herbal granules (Fuling Yunhua and Dihuang Baoyuan) to see if they help control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes who have not yet taken diabetes medication. You will be randomly assigned to one of the granules or a placebo for several weeks, and your blood sugar will be monitored closely.
This study looks at how an exercise program can improve prediabetes (a condition where blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet diabetes) in adults of Han Chinese descent. It aims to find the best types of exercise to help control blood sugar and prevent diabetes.
