Diabetes prevention study with metabolic testing at Stanford
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at different types of diabetes risk and tries to find the best way to prevent it. It is for people with high blood sugar that is not yet diabetes, or early diabetes, who are not on medication.

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 study looks at how different foods affect your body after eating, especially your blood sugar and other metabolic responses. It may help find personalized ways to eat better for your health.
This study looks at people who may be on the way to developing type 2 diabetes or who have it, to see how to help and better understand the condition. Depending on the part of the study you join, it may include brain scans and sleep testing.
This study tracks how blood sugar levels change in people with prediabetes (higher-than-normal blood sugar but not yet diabetes). Researchers will use a small sensor to monitor your blood sugar and help understand what affects it, which could help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
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 is testing a version of the Diabetes Prevention Program that has been adapted for Spanish culture and delivered in primary care clinics. It aims to help people with prediabetes avoid developing type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.
