Scientists probe hidden Hormone's role in prediabetes

NCT ID NCT06967558

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how a hormone called GLP-1, made in the pancreas, helps control blood sugar in people with prediabetes. Researchers will give a drug that blocks GLP-1 to see how it changes insulin and glucagon release. The goal is to understand why some people with prediabetes go on to develop type 2 diabetes. About 60 adults with stable weight and no diabetes will take part.
