HYPOGLYCEMIA

This study tested whether taking high doses of omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil) and vitamin D is safe and can help people with type 1 diabetes keep making some of their own insulin. It included 27 people aged 6 to 65, both newly diagnosed and those living with diabetes for up to 10…

This study tested an artificial pancreas system that learns a person's exercise patterns to prevent low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in adults with type 1 diabetes. Fifteen participants used both a standard and an experimental version of the system during exercise sessions. The goa…

This study tested whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) combined with a diabetes management platform (DMP) can help older adults (65+) with type 1 diabetes reduce low blood sugar episodes. The DMP automatically sends glucose and insulin data to a system that gives dose adjus…

This study tested whether a real-time continuous glucose monitor (CGM) could help manage low blood sugar in very low birth weight newborns. 48 preterm infants were randomly assigned to either CGM or standard finger-stick testing for the first 3 days of life. The goal was to see i…

This study looked at 24 people with long-standing type 1 diabetes who have lost their ability to produce glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar when it gets too low. Researchers wanted to see if using an automated insulin delivery system plus a low-carbohydrate diet for 8 mo…

This study looked at how a mild drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia) affects the brain and the body's automatic stress response. Researchers used brain scans to see changes in brain networks that control heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. The goal was to understand how a ph…

This study tested whether a new program to prevent low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is practical and well-liked by patients and clinic staff. 35 adults with diabetes who take insulin or similar medications took part. The goal was to see if the program works in a real-world primary …

This study looked at how having low blood sugar affects the body's automatic control of the heart and blood vessels. Researchers tested 28 healthy adults to see if a drug called spironolactone could block these effects. The goal was to better understand the risks of low blood sug…

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 early-phase study looked at how nerve signals and the hormone epinephrine influence blood sugar regulation in 9 people with type 1 diabetes who had received islet cell transplants. Researchers used medications to block specific nerve and hormone pathways during controlled lo…

This study looked at how low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) affects the body's ability to regulate heart rate in people with well-controlled type 2 diabetes. Researchers measured changes in baroreflex sensitivity—a key heart rate control mechanism—before and after inducing low blood …

This study looked at whether wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help predict low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in adults with type 2 diabetes. 41 participants wore either a regular CGM or a hidden one for a short time. The goal was to compare how often low blood sugar ha…

This study looked at 62 people with type 1 diabetes to see if a test that measures the hormone glucagon can help predict when dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) might happen. Researchers used a special drink or an injection to stimulate glucagon release and tracked blood …

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…

This study aimed to measure how often older adults with diabetes living in nursing homes experience dangerously low blood sugar levels. Researchers used continuous glucose monitors on 86 residents for 10 days to track blood sugar patterns. The goal was to better understand this h…
