Study of gut bacteria and insulin cells in prediabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how gut bacteria byproducts (endotoxins) may affect the cells that make insulin in people with prediabetes. It aims to find new ways to prevent diabetes by understanding this connection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) should be in the normal range, from 18.5 to 24.9.
- You must have prediabetes, meaning your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be diabetes.
- You must have a low insulin resistance score (HOMA-IR below 1.5), meaning your body is still responding well to insulin.
- You must not have diabetes, any active inflammation, or stomach or intestinal problems.

This trial tests whether matching daily lifestyle habits to a 24-hour body rhythm can improve blood sugar levels in people with prediabetes. You may be asked to follow a detailed schedule and avoid certain medicines for a short time before study visits.
This study looks at adults with prediabetes—specifically abnormal fasting and/or 2-hour blood sugar tests—to see whether a treatment helps improve sugar control. You may also be compared with people who have normal blood sugar (the control group).
This study looks at how a hormone called GLP-1, made in the pancreas, affects blood sugar levels in people with borderline high blood sugar (prediabetes). It may help find new ways to prevent diabetes.
This study looks at how growth hormone affects the cells in your pancreas that make insulin. It may help find new ways to prevent type 2 diabetes in people with prediabetes.
This study tracks how blood sugar levels change in people with prediabetes (higher-than-normal blood sugar but not yet diabetes). Researchers will use a small sensor to monitor your blood sugar and help understand what affects it, which could help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
This study looks at health changes and complications in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or prediabetes. It may help researchers better understand risk factors over time and how to improve care.
