Comparing insulin glargine vs NPH insulin in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if a newer long-acting insulin (glargine) works better than a standard insulin (NPH) for Tunisian patients with type 2 diabetes. You may join if you've been on NPH insulin for 5–10 years and your blood sugar control is moderate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 70 years old

This study tests whether a new injection that combines insulin with liraglutide works better than standard premixed insulin for people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to improve blood sugar control and simplify treatment.
This trial compares two treatment approaches—liraglutide injections versus a specific insulin (glargine) injection—plus meal-time insulin dosing (“bolus”) in adults with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes that isn’t well controlled. The goal is to see which option works better and is safer for improving blood sugar.
This study tests a new once-daily insulin (GZR4) against an approved insulin (degludec) in people with type 2 diabetes to see how well it controls blood sugar. You may qualify if you are already using a stable dose of background insulin.
This study compares two different two-drug combinations for people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It aims to find which combination works better to control blood sugar and improve overall health.
This trial compares two types of insulin (glargine and NPH) to see which works better for managing blood sugar in pregnant women with gestational diabetes or type 2 diabetes. If you need to start insulin during pregnancy, you may be able to join.
This study tests how well different diabetes medications work after a brief period of intensive insulin therapy. It may help you find a simpler, effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
