New study aims to unlock secrets of blood sugar control before diabetes develops
NCT ID NCT07288372
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will enroll about 225 adults aged 18-70 who are at risk for or may have early blood sugar problems, but not yet diagnosed with diabetes. Participants will wear a continuous glucose monitor for 10-14 days and take two at-home meal tests, followed by a standard glucose drink test at the hospital. The goal is to learn how home monitoring compares to hospital tests and how the body controls blood sugar, which could improve early detection and management of type 2 diabetes.

Who is studied
This monocentric, prospective, observational study will enroll 225 adult participants (aged 18-70 years) who are at high risk for diabetes or present with abnormal glucose metabolism, but have not been previously diagnosed with diabetes. Participants must meet specific eligibility criteria, including having diabetes-related symptoms, impaired fasting glucose, elevated HbA1c in the pre-diabetes range, or established risk factors (e.g., obesity, family history of diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia). Key Exclusion Criteria include a prior diagnosis of diabetes, use of medications affecting glucose metabolism, significant organ dysfunction, or pregnancy. Upon enrollment, all participants will undergo a standardized 75g Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Based on the OGTT results, they will be retrospectively categorized into three natural groups for comparative analysis: Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT), Pre-Diabetes (Pre-DM), and Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM).

Inclusion Criteria: To be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet ALL of the following criteria: * Is aged between 18 and 70 years, inclusive. * And meets at least ONE of the following conditions: * Presents with diabetes-related clinical symptoms or signs (e.g., unexplained ·polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria, weight loss) and has been advised by a ·clinician to undergo an OGTT for diagnostic clarification. * Has indicators of abnormal glucose metabolism:Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG): Fasting venous plasma glucose ≥ 6.1 mmol/L and \< 7.0 mmol/L.and/or Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the pre-diabetes range of 5.7% to 6.4%. * Has at least one of the following diabetes risk factors:Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 24 kg/m²;Has a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, or child) with a history of diabetes;Has a history of hypertension (or undergoing antihypertensive treatment) or dyslipidemia. Exclusion Criteria: * An individual who meets ANY of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: * Previously diagnosed with diabetes. * Use of medications that significantly affect glucose metabolism or gastrointestinal hormones (e.g., GLP-1 receptor agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, glucocorticoids) within a specified washout period prior to enrollment. * History of gastrointestinal surgery (e.g., gastrectomy) or chronic pancreatic disease. * Presence of severe hepatic or renal impairment (e.g., ALT \> 3 times the upper limit of normal, or eGFR \< 45 mL/min/1.73m²). * Pregnant or lactating women, or women planning to become pregnant during the study period. * Known allergy to soy (as the standardized meal may contain soy-based components).
