THC Effects on Glucose in Type 2 Diabetes (NCT05322213)
The Effects of THC on Glucose Metabolism and Endothelial Function in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will examine the effects THC has on Glucose Metabolism and Endothelial Functioning in participants with Type 2 Diabetes. The participants will complete blood tests and tests to measure energy expenditure, CVD risks, and glucose metabolism. These tests will be performed prior to start of treatment and again after 2-weeks of treatment with the THC or placebo.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (8 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (14 items).
Location: UC San Diego Altman Clinical & Translational Research Institute — La Jolla, California
Age range: 21 Years to 70 Years

📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- History or presence of any clinically significant illness, as detected by history, physical examination, and/or laboratory tests, that might put the participant at increased risk of adverse events (e.g., history of psychotic disorder, clinically significant mood and/or anxiety disorder, liver, or renal disease).
- No prior history of myocardial infarction, stroke or heart failure.
- Whole blood donation of 1 pint (500 mL) within 8 weeks prior to Screening. Donations of plasma, packed RBCs, platelets or quantities less than 500 mL are allowed at investigator discretion.
- Hemoglobin \< 9g/dL.
- Liver enzymes ≥ 2 times upper normal limit and/or clinical signs/symptoms consistent with liver disease, including but not limited to nausea, vomiting, jaundice, itching, abdominal pain, or edema.
- History of clinically significant adverse events associated with cannabis intoxication (e.g., severe anxiety and panic, paranoia and psychosis, sustained tachycardia, or severe hypotension).
- History of seizures, head trauma, or other history of CNS insult that could predispose the participant to seizures.
- Use of any THC containing products within 30 days prior to the screening visit.
- Current use of tobacco products.
- Individuals who are pregnant or lactating/breastfeeding.
- Current use of insulin to treat Type 2 Diabetes.
