How sugar-free drinks affect heart health in type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how sugar-free drinks (like diet Gatorade) affect heart health and blood sugar in young people with type 1 diabetes. You would drink one sugar-free Gatorade and have tests to see how your body responds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 15 to 24 years old and have had type 1 diabetes for at least 1 year but less than 10 years.
- Your most recent A1C (a measure of average blood sugar) is 8.5% or lower.
- You use an automated insulin delivery system (a type of insulin pump that adjusts doses automatically).
- You are willing to drink a 12-ounce bottle of sugar-free Gatorade (Gatorade G Zero) in under 10 minutes.
- You do not have significant heart, kidney, or other metabolic conditions, and are not taking certain medications like steroids or statins.
- If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to let you join.

This study is looking for adults with type 1 diabetes to help improve guidelines for preventing and treating low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The goal is to make recommendations that are more practical and safer for people like you.
This study tests if adding a non-insulin medication can lower the amount of insulin needed while improving heart and metabolic health in people with type 1 diabetes. It may also help understand how this approach works in people with a genetic form of diabetes (GCK-MODY).
This study looks at whether changes in blood sugar (“sugar swings”) affect brain functioning and eating behaviors in adults with type 1 diabetes. You would likely track your blood sugar and complete computer-based tasks or questionnaires to help researchers understand these links.
This study tests whether using an automated insulin delivery system (a smart pump that adjusts insulin based on sensor readings) can help improve blood sugar control and bone health in adults with Type 1 diabetes who have high and unstable blood sugars.
This study compares how blood fats (especially HDL cholesterol) differ between people with well-controlled type 1 diabetes and people without diabetes. Researchers want to understand if improving blood sugar control can help improve these protective blood fats.
This study tests whether very low-carbohydrate diets change glucagon response in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand how diet affects blood-sugar control in people using insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors.
