Testing a light-based finger scan for blood sugar
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to measure blood sugar using a light-based scanner on your fingernail, without a finger prick. It aims to see if this method is accurate for people with and without diabetes.

This study measures “circulating biomarkers” (blood-based signals) in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and in some people without diabetes who test positive for certain diabetes antibodies. The goal is to understand what these blood signals can tell us about diabetes development and progression.
This study is testing a new device that measures blood sugar without a finger prick. It is open to healthy adults and people with type 2 diabetes, to see if the non-invasive meter works as well as standard blood tests.
This trial tests a new light-based sensor that can be used on your finger to monitor health without needing batteries. You are being asked to help see if this sensor works well for people like you.
This study tests a new device that may measure blood sugar with less pain than finger pricks. It compares the device's readings to your own finger-prick test, and checks how much pain you feel.
This study tests if a camera can estimate your blood sugar and HbA1c levels from a video of your face. If it works, it could make checking these numbers easier without a finger prick.
This study uses noninvasive (no major procedures) tests to better understand how diabetic foot ulcers or infections are healing. It may help doctors choose better ways to support wound healing in people with diabetes.
