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 looks at how your diet affects blood sugar spikes after meals. You will wear a small sensor that tracks your glucose for a short time, and you will keep a record of what you eat so the research team can see which foods may lead to higher or lower blood sugar.
This study is testing a device called Feetsee that helps monitor foot health in people with diabetes. It might help catch foot problems early, so you can avoid serious issues.
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 study tests a new type of self-powered light sensor that may one day be used to monitor health. Researchers want to see how well it works when placed on your skin.
This study tests a new way to check blood sugar and long-term glucose (HbA1c) using a simple camera scan of your face, without needing a finger prick. If it works, it could make monitoring easier and less painful.
