Capillary OGTT study for children and teens
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at using a finger-prick test instead of a standard blood draw for the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which measures how your body handles sugar. It may help young people at risk for or with early type 1 diabetes avoid repeated needle sticks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be younger than 18 years old.
- You must be able to drink a sugary liquid within 10 minutes.
- You must be willing to have an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or already be scheduled for one.
- If you have a higher risk of type 1 diabetes (positive for two or more islet autoantibodies), you may join a special group.
- You cannot take part if you have certain blood disorders like sickle cell disease, or if you already have diabetes and are on treatment.

This study uses a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to check how well your body controls blood sugar. It is for people who may have early signs of diabetes or are at risk and want to better understand their glucose health.
This study tests using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) in teenagers with type 1 diabetes in the Dominican Republic. The device tracks blood sugar levels around the clock to help manage their diabetes better. Participants will get support and education over about 15 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 follows young people with type 2 diabetes to better understand risks for kidney problems over time. It may help researchers find earlier warning signs and improve care for adolescents living with type 2 diabetes.
This study looks at the health records of children and teens newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes to understand their insulin needs at the start and over the first year. It may help doctors better predict and manage insulin doses for future patients.
This study tests if an artificial intelligence tool can predict how type 2 diabetes changes over time in youth. It involves wearing a continuous glucose monitor for 6 weeks and may help doctors personalize care.
