HYPOGLYCEMIA

This study tests a computer program that alerts doctors and nurses when hospital patients have dangerously high or low blood sugar. The tool suggests care steps to improve glucose control. Researchers will track over 15,000 adults across multiple hospitals to see if the tool redu…

This early-phase study tests a new treatment called OPF-310, which uses pig islet cells enclosed in a protective capsule, for people with unstable type 1 diabetes who still experience severe low blood sugar episodes despite using an automated insulin pump and continuous glucose m…

This study tests if a tube-like device called a stent, placed through a scope, can reverse gastric bypass surgery in 20 people who have serious complications like low blood sugar, blockages, or liver problems. The goal is to see if the stent works as well as surgery to fix these …

This study tests whether a wearable breath sensor can detect high or low blood sugar in teens with type 1 diabetes. Participants wear the device for 72 hours and provide breath samples while checking blood sugar with a finger prick. The goal is to see if breath chemicals can repl…

This study aims to better understand why some people experience dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially after fasting. Researchers will admit 1,500 adults to the NIH Clinical Center for controlled fasting and a series of blood tests to measure insulin and other fac…

This study looks at how menstrual cycles and birth control pills impact blood sugar levels and exercise in women with type 1 diabetes. Researchers will monitor 150 women for three months using continuous glucose monitors and offer personalized insulin and diet adjustments. The go…

This study tests a digital tool called CGM ASSIST that combines a continuous glucose monitor with easy-to-read displays. The goal is to help people with Alzheimer's or dementia and diabetes, along with their caregivers, better understand blood sugar levels and make informed decis…

This study looks at whether the standard A1C blood sugar test works correctly in people with a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD), a type of heart pump. Researchers will compare A1C results with continuous glucose monitor (CGM) readings over 3 months in 20 adults with type 2 d…

This early study tests whether a natural protein called C-peptide can help the liver produce more sugar during insulin-induced low blood sugar in people with type 1 diabetes. Researchers will give C-peptide or a placebo to 38 volunteers and measure glucagon levels and liver sugar…

This study looks at whether sexual activity raises the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who use insulin and continuous glucose monitors. Researchers will track 100 participants for 3 months, comparing glucose levels on days with and …

This small pilot study aims to see if a new in-ear wearable device can comfortably and reliably measure blood flow changes in the head. Researchers will compare people who have low blood sugar after bariatric surgery to those who don't. The goal is to learn if this device can hel…

This study looks at how different levels of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) affect blood vessels in healthy adults. Researchers want to understand if low blood sugar causes inflammation or blood clotting changes. The study involves 32 healthy volunteers and uses a controlled proce…

This study looks at how gastric bypass surgery affects insulin and blood sugar control, focusing on gut hormones and nerve signals. Researchers will compare three groups: people who had the surgery and now have severe low blood sugar, those who had the surgery without symptoms, a…
