Study on diabetes medication and liver sugar production
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests how combining a ketone supplement with certain diabetes medicines affects blood sugar and ketone levels. It may help adults with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin or certain other drugs.
This study looks at how stopping a common diabetes drug (SGLT2 inhibitor) affects the body's risk of a serious condition called ketoacidosis. It may help understand who is most at risk and how to prevent it.
This study tests how a drug called canagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) affects kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes. It involves two kidney biopsies to see how the drug works inside your kidneys, aiming to better protect kidney health.
This trial compares two medications, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, to see which works better and is safer for people with type 2 diabetes and a high body mass index (BMI). If you are an adult with type 2 diabetes and a BMI of 23 or higher, this study might help find a treatment that also supports weight loss.
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.
