Studying early diabetes risk in obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at the early stages of type 2 diabetes in people with obesity. It aims to understand what happens before diabetes develops and may help prevent or better treat the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You may be obese with prediabetes (impaired glucose tolerance), newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (within 3 months), or a healthy volunteer.
- If you have obesity, you must have increased belly fat (measured by waist size).
- You should not have been on diabetes medications for the past 3 months.
- You should not have serious heart, liver, kidney, or cancer problems.

This study looks at how fat is processed in the body for people with different health conditions, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. It aims to find new ways to improve treatment by understanding these differences.
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 at differences in body fat to understand why some people develop type 2 diabetes. You may be asked for blood tests and health information to see if your diabetes risk and body fat patterns are linked.
This trial tests an investigational drug, BGM0504, for people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who also have obesity. It aims to see if the drug can help control blood sugar and support weight loss.
This study looks at how weight-loss surgery (gastrectomy) changes blood sugar control in people who are obese or have type 2 diabetes. It aims to see if the surgery helps improve glucose metabolism, which could lead to better diabetes management.
This study looks at ways to catch early signs of prediabetes in people who are at high risk, and to start preventive steps sooner. If you join, you'll get close monitoring to help you stay healthy.
