A future without Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) starts with you. Get screened! Thanks in large part to T1D family members, we understand T1D as a disease that progresses in three distinct stages. This new definition in conjunction with TrialNet's Pathway to Prevention screening, allows for earlier detection and intervention.

In PRECIDENTD, we hope to learn which diabetes medications work best to reduce the risk of heart and kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to have heart disease or a stroke compared to someone who does not have diabetes, and they are likely to have heart disease or stroke at a younger age. People with…
We are recruiting volunteers, aged 18-70, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin. To do this, we seek to temporarily induce or accentuate insulin resistance in 14…
Our research team at Columbia University is trying to understand the impact of COVID-19 on smell and taste (chemosensory) dysfunction among adult patients from the Greater New York City area. Current areas of study include: 1) Investigation of smell and taste recovery patterns among patients with COVID-19; 2) Studies on how recovery of smell and taste after…
The purpose of this study is testing two different Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, Abrocitinib and Ritlecitinib, to see if either or both can preserve insulin production in people recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Researchers believe JAK inhibitors may be able to calm the immune system's attack on insulin producing beta cells in the…

The ring itself is made of a silicone rubber combined with the following ingredients: ferrous gluconate (a type of iron), Vitamin C…
The study is looking to evaluate levonogestrel butanoate as a possible new long-acting injectable for birth control. Levonogestrel butanoate is a type of hormone called progestin that has a long history of clinical use in a variety of birth control methods (e.g. pills, intrauterine devices, implants) and its efficacy and safety are well recognized. This…
We're conducting a research study on how much insulin is needed to control blood sugar in people who are made temporarily resistant to insulin's effects. Insulin is the main hormone (chemical signal) that the body uses to lower the levels of sugar in the blood. We are interested in looking at insulin levels because we think that lowering insulin…
We are conducting an academic study to understand how people solve problems related to health. In the study, participants will be presented with a hypothetical problem related to diabetes self-management and asked to use an online health application to explore information and propose a solution. We invite all participants between 18 and 65 years old, who…
Seeking participants for a study about how individuals prefer to receive nutrition recommendations to support health management and preferences for visualizing health data. Participants will be invited to complete a 60-minute session to answer questionnaires and evaluate different styles of nutrition recommendations. Alternatively, they will complete one 60…

We are recruiting healthy volunteers, aged 18-65, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin. To do this, we seek to induce temporary insulin resistance in 10-12…

It contains a progestin (a hormone) that releases a small amount of hormone to prevent pregnancy. Once the device is in, you will come in for periodic study visits over the course of a year.
This study is studying the effectiveness and safety of a new birth control pill. The pill contains two hormones, drospirenone (a progestin) and estetrol (an estrogen), which combine to prevent pregnancy. Scientists think that estetrol may be safer and have more benefits than other estrogen hormones. The study lasts about one year, and you will come in for 7…

Participation will involve a conversation for 1-2 hours. We will ask questions and get your thoughts on your health, your diabetes, pregnancy, and birth control. We have prepared some questions, but will be…
The unintended pregnancy rate is rising despite increased availability and use of different types of emergency contraception (EC) pills. Few studies have addressed reasons for EC failure, yet such an investigation may allow researchers to better understand if EC can be used more successfully.Recently studies have shown that EC failure rates are higher in…
The purpose of this study is to determine if a specific form of Vitamin B known as pyridoxamine helps improve bone strength over one year in women (65 yrs old) with Type 2 Diabetes. We know that people with type 2 diabetes have the lower bone material strength and we suspect this is due to high levels of circulating sugars that build up over time (known as…
