Let's Talk Clinical Trials
Clinical Trials and Diabetes
Innovations in healthcare start here
Clinical trials are a critical step to develop new treatments and better outcomes for people living with diabetes. Who matters most to make clinical trials successful? You.
Historically, clinical trials have lacked the diversity reflected in our society. We hope to help change this.
Join us as we take a look at the history of clinical trials, talk about gaps in diversity, and show you how you can get involved. Let’s talk clinical trials.
The Math Isn't Mathing
If clinical trials don't study everyone, they can't help everyone.
To make sure everyone is included, medical institutions are working to build trust and increase access to participate, including paying participants for their time. Now, we need more people signing up to be involved.
25%
In 2020, just 1 in 4 participants in US clinical trials identified as Black, Hispanic, or Asian.
42%
According to 2020 US Census data, 42% of the United States is made up of people from non-white ethnic backgrounds.

What was the first question you asked when diagnosed?
When you’re diagnosed with diabetes, your head is spinning with questions—not only medical, but the ones you’re afraid to ask. Hearing from people with lived experience helps – and don’t worry, we’ve got a pro on call to keep the record straight.
Looking for a beginner’s guide? We’ve got one for type 1 and type 2 that break down everything you need to know with community advice just like this. Share this with anyone who could use support right now.

The more we talk about diabetes, the more we break down stigma and lift each other up.
We all run into moments when someone’s ideas about diabetes are not accurate. Education helps change that, and the more conversations we have, the more understanding we build.
Here are three things you can share with someone today:
a) A simple fact about diabetes to clear up misunderstandings and stigma
b) What life with diabetes actually looks like
c) A reminder that everyone’s experience is different and listening matters
