This study looked at whether replacing breakfast with a low glycemic index shake can improve blood sugar control in overweight and obese adults without diabetes. Forty-six participants ate either the shake or a bowl of oat cereal for breakfast over two weeks. Researchers measured…

This pilot study looked at whether giving the diabetes drug metformin around the time of hip or knee replacement surgery is feasible and helps control blood sugar. Forty adults, with or without diabetes, were randomly assigned to receive metformin or a placebo. The main goal was …

This study tested whether electronic alerts in the emergency department help doctors start diabetes care sooner. 300 adults with high blood sugar were included. The alerts prompted doctors to order additional tests and arrange follow-up appointments. The goal was to see if this l…

This study tested whether a fully automated digital program could help people with prediabetes lose weight and lower blood sugar as effectively as standard programs led by human coaches. About 368 adults with prediabetes and overweight participated. The goal was to find a more ac…

This study looked at whether exercising in the morning or evening helps control blood sugar better in pregnant women with gestational diabetes or glucose intolerance. 39 participants walked or stepped for 30 minutes either after breakfast or after dinner. The goal was to see whic…

This study looked at using continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in intensive care units (ICUs) for patients with high blood sugar or on IV insulin. The goal was to see if CGM could make it easier for nurses to keep blood sugar in a safe range and reduce the need for frequent finger-…

This study placed a continuous glucose monitor on very preterm babies (born before 31 weeks) to see how well it tracks their blood sugar levels. The goal was to learn more about high and low blood sugar and how they might affect the babies' growth and brain development over time.…

This study looked at how blood sugar levels change in hospitalized infants with intestinal failure when their IV nutrition is switched from continuous (24 hours a day) to cycled (less than 24 hours). Nine babies wore a small sensor on their thigh that measured sugar levels every …

This study looked at 20 non-diabetic critically ill patients to see if there is a link between blood sugar levels and heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of nervous system health. Researchers focused on stress-induced high blood sugar, common in ICUs, and its connection to ne…

This study followed 1,290 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes for two years to see how mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and eating problems relate to blood sugar control. Participants completed surveys, interviews, and used smartphone apps and glucose monitors. Th…

This study looked at whether continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can accurately track blood sugar levels in newborns during the first 72 hours of life. Researchers tested the devices on 25 babies who were large for their age or whose mothers had diabetes. The goal was to see if CG…
