Study of belly fat and heart risk in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how belly fat (visceral fat) relates to heart health in people with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to attend clinic visits and have some measurements taken; this could help doctors better understand and manage heart risks in diabetes.

This study looks at how heart, kidney, and weight problems affect people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to find better ways to treat these related conditions and improve overall health.
This study looks at the fat around your heart (called epicardial fat) in people with type 2 diabetes. It uses samples and data already collected to learn more about how this fat might affect your health, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
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.
This study looks at people with type 2 diabetes to understand their health. If you join, you'll have simple measurements taken like height, weight, and grip strength.
This study looks at how newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes affects heart and blood vessel health. Researchers will follow patients over time to understand the relationship between diabetes and cardiovascular risk.
This study measures how certain blood “fat” markers relate to blood sugar control and inflammation. It may help researchers understand risk factors for heart disease in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and people preparing for weight-loss surgery.
