Platelet changes in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how platelets (the cells that help blood clot) may be affected in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to understand if diabetes changes platelet function, which could help improve heart health in the future.

This study uses math models to understand how your blood sugar and hormones respond to food and insulin. You'll eat study foods and provide blood samples so researchers can better predict how your body handles diabetes.
This early study looks at how “autophagy” (your body’s cell recycling process) relates to small blood-vessel problems in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand mechanisms and possible future treatments, mainly for people who meet specific health and medication criteria.
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 early-stage study tests how a daily aspirin tablet behaves in the body and how it affects blood/clotting markers in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand whether this form of aspirin could be useful, especially if you’re not currently taking aspirin.
This study looks at heart disease risk and how diabetes medications are used in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors better manage your heart health.
This study looks at why people with type 2 diabetes develop heart problems. Researchers will examine special cells in your blood and inflammation markers to better understand these complications.
