This study tested whether a fully automated smartphone app could be as effective as a traditional human coach program at helping people with prediabetes lower their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. 368 adults were randomly assigned to use either the app with a smart scale or a…

This study tested a small, wearable device to continuously monitor blood sugar levels in very premature babies. It involved 24 infants born before 31 weeks who were at risk for high or low blood sugar. The goal was to see how well the monitor worked and to track the babies' growt…

This study tested whether replacing breakfast with a special low-glycemic shake helps control blood sugar in overweight adults. 46 participants ate their normal diet for a week, then had either the shake or regular oat cereal for breakfast for two weeks. Researchers measured bloo…

This study aimed to understand the connection between high blood sugar caused by severe illness and changes in heart rate patterns, which reflect nervous system stress. Researchers observed 20 non-diabetic, critically ill adults to see if blood sugar and hormone levels were linke…

This study tested whether a small, wearable glucose sensor is practical and effective for monitoring blood sugar in newborns at risk of low levels. Researchers placed the sensor on 25 babies' thighs shortly after birth and compared its readings to standard blood tests for up to 7…

This study aimed to understand how mental health conditions like depression and anxiety affect blood sugar control in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Researchers followed 1,290 participants for two years, using smartphone surveys and glucose monitors to track daily moods, …
