Early artery changes in prediabetes using advanced ultrasound
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound to look for early signs of artery changes in people with prediabetes. The goal is to find out how prediabetes affects arteries before any symptoms appear.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have prediabetes, meaning your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be diabetes.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have normal blood pressure (systolic 90-139 mmHg and diastolic 60-89 mmHg).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 30.
- You are not taking any medications that affect your heart or blood vessels.
- You have no history of heart disease, diabetes, or autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

This study looks for people who are at high risk of developing prediabetes (but don't have it yet) and tests whether early monitoring with a continuous glucose monitor can help prevent it. It's a good fit if you're 35 or older with a high diabetes risk score but normal blood sugar levels.
This study tests whether treating prediabetes can help bring blood sugar back to normal. It is for people with heart artery disease who have either prediabetes or normal blood sugar levels, and who haven't been on diabetes medications.
This study looks at how exercise changes signals between muscles and fat cells, which may help control blood sugar. It compares people with prediabetes to healthy individuals to understand how exercise might prevent diabetes.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique that creates clearer images of blood vessels. It may help doctors better diagnose and understand peripheral artery disease, which affects blood flow to the legs.
This trial uses a simple neck ultrasound (carotid Doppler) to check for early signs of blocked arteries in people with type 2 diabetes and moderate kidney disease. It aims to catch heart risks early so they can be treated sooner.
This study uses ultrasound to check for calcium buildup in the leg arteries of long-time endurance athletes. It aims to understand how intense exercise might affect artery health, especially in those without diabetes or heart disease.
