Blood sugar control and eye blood vessel changes in diabetes
Part of Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to look at the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye and compares them between people with diabetes whose blood sugar is well-controlled and those whose is not. The goal is to understand how blood sugar control affects eye health in people with diabetic retinopathy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have diabetes and have diabetic retinopathy
- Your diabetes may be well-controlled or not well-controlled
- You have not had eye injections or laser treatment for your eyes
- You have not had surgery on the back of the eye or recent cataract surgery
- You do not have other retinal diseases or uncontrolled glaucoma
- Your eyes are clear enough for a detailed scan (no severe cataracts or clouding)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how images and other tests of the eye can help predict diabetic retinopathy, an eye problem caused by diabetes that can lead to vision loss. If you have diabetes, your eye health will be monitored closely. If you do not, you may participate as a healthy comparison.
This study compares two types of diabetes medications (GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors) to see how they affect blood vessels in the back of the eye over time. It may help doctors understand if one drug is better for protecting your eyes.
This study uses a special eye imaging test called OCT angiography to look at tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. It aims to understand changes caused by diabetic retinopathy, which could help improve how we monitor and treat this condition.
This study looks for specific eye findings (“biomarkers”) in people with type 2 diabetes using eye imaging. It may help researchers better understand diabetic retinopathy and how to detect it earlier or more accurately.
This study follows people with type 2 diabetes to understand how diabetic retinopathy (an eye disease caused by diabetes) changes over time without treatment. It may help if you have no other eye issues causing new blood vessels and are not planning for certain eye procedures.
This study uses an OCT scan, a painless imaging test, to look for early signs of diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina caused by diabetes) in people who have no symptoms. It aims to detect problems early so they can be managed before vision is affected.
