Dietary approaches for weight management in type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests two different diet approaches to help people with type 1 diabetes who are overweight or obese manage their weight. It aims to find out which eating plan works better for blood sugar control and weight loss.

This study tests a very low-energy ketogenic diet (a special low-carb, low-calorie diet) in adults with type 1 diabetes and obesity who use an automated insulin pump. It aims to see if this diet helps with weight loss and blood sugar control.
This study tests whether a low-calorie diet combined with a personalized lifestyle program can help people with type 2 diabetes reach remission, meaning their blood sugar stays normal without needing diabetes medication. It uses a smartphone app to support the program.
This study looks at how the number of meals you eat each day affects your blood sugar levels. If you have type 1 diabetes and manage your carbs, you might be able to join and learn more about your meal patterns.
This study examines how excess weight affects how insulin works in small blood vessels and overall fitness in people with Type 1 Diabetes. Researchers want to understand if obesity makes diabetes management harder and whether this knowledge can help future treatments.
This study compares different ways of eating carbohydrates to see which pattern helps people with type 1 diabetes manage their blood sugar better. If you have type 1 diabetes and are on insulin, this trial might help you find an eating approach that improves your glucose control.
This study compares a very low carbohydrate diet to a regular diet to see how well blood sugar control works for adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help you understand which eating pattern is easier and safer for managing daily glucose with modern diabetes technology.
