GLP-1 hormone role in prediabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how a hormone called GLP-1, made in the pancreas, affects blood sugar levels in people with borderline high blood sugar (prediabetes). It may help find new ways to prevent diabetes.

This study looks at how glucagon affects insulin release and blood sugar in people who do not have type 2 diabetes. It may help us understand normal glucose control better.
This trial tests a special drink that may help improve blood sugar levels and gut health in people with prediabetes. It could offer a simple way to manage blood sugar and potentially prevent diabetes.
This study looks at how your genes may change how well a GLP-1–type medicine works to improve prediabetes. It focuses on adults at higher risk of developing diabetes, especially people of Mexican-American background.
This study tests whether a once-daily pill (henagliflozin) can help people with prediabetes return to normal blood sugar levels. If it works, it might prevent prediabetes from progressing to type 2 diabetes.
This study tests whether a new medication called chiglitazar sodium, combined with a lifestyle program, can help reverse prediabetes (when blood sugar is high but not yet diabetes). It could help you lower your blood sugar and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
This study looks at how the body makes insulin during pregnancy to understand why some women get gestational diabetes. If you join, you'll have some extra blood tests during pregnancy and after birth to help researchers learn more.
