Study on how lactate and glycerol affect blood sugar production
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at how your body uses lactate and glycerol to make new sugar. It may help us understand blood sugar control in people with and without type 2 diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- You are in generally good health with no major chronic illnesses.
- If you have type 2 diabetes, your A1C level is between 6.5% and 8.0% and your BMI is between 30 and 45.
- If you do not have diabetes or obesity, your BMI is 24.9 or lower and your blood sugar tests are normal.
- If you have obesity but not diabetes, your BMI is between 30 and 45 and your blood sugar tests are normal.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking certain medications like steroids or weekly GLP-1 drugs.

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 tests how a type of diabetes medicine called SGLT2 inhibitors affects how the liver makes sugar. It may help researchers better understand how to manage blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes.
This trial tests how stopping a type 2 diabetes medication called an SGLT2 inhibitor affects the liver's production of sugar and ketones. It may help understand better ways to manage diabetes.
This study uses a special full-body PET scan to see how two natural hormones, GIP and GLP-1, affect how your body uses sugar and moves blood. It includes healthy volunteers and people with type 2 diabetes who are on metformin only.
This study looks at how very small particles in the body (“extracellular vesicles”) relate to insulin action and how the body handles sugar. It may help researchers understand why some people have better or worse insulin responses.
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.
