Ultrasound study of artery health in prediabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special high-frequency ultrasound to look at early changes in the arteries of people with prediabetes. It may help find early signs of heart risk and guide prevention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have prediabetes — that means your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be diabetes.
- Your blood pressure should be in the normal range (not too high or too low).
- Your body mass index (BMI) should be under 30 — that's a measure of weight relative to height.
- You should not have any history of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
- You must not have Raynaud's phenomenon (fingers or toes turning white or blue in the cold) or take heart/blood pressure medications.

This study tests whether a special cooking oil (diacylglycerol oil) can improve blood sugar and other health markers in people with prediabetes. You will receive all meals during the study, and the oil is used in place of regular oil.
This study looks at ways to catch early signs of prediabetes in people who are at high risk, and to start preventive steps sooner. If you join, you'll get close monitoring to help you stay healthy.
This trial tests whether certain diabetes medications can help prevent worsening of heart disease in people who have prediabetes (higher than normal blood sugar, but not yet diabetes). It may be a good fit if you have known coronary artery disease and prediabetes.
This study uses a simple neck ultrasound (like the one for carotid arteries) to look for early signs of hardening or blockage in the blood vessels of people with diabetes and kidney disease. The goal is to catch heart and blood vessel problems sooner, so you can get early care.
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 study uses a special camera (OCT and NIRS) inside heart arteries to look for dangerous plaque in people with diabetes. It may help doctors decide the best treatment to prevent heart attacks.
