Hair changes in women with type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at hair changes in women with type 2 diabetes using a special camera (trichoscopy) to examine the scalp. It aims to see if diabetes affects hair health and may help identify early signs of hair loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how diabetes might affect the menstrual cycle in teenage girls. Researchers will compare periods in girls with diabetes to those without, to see if diabetes is linked to any changes.
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 study looks at the connection between type 1 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It will compare women with both conditions to women with only diabetes and to women without either, to understand how PCOS affects diabetes management.
This study closely follows people with type 2 diabetes who have early signs of diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina from diabetes) to see how the condition changes over time. It does not test a new treatment but monitors the eye's health closely. It may be a good fit if you have diabetic retinopathy that does not need immediate treatment.
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 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.
