Sugar gap may reveal hidden metabolism clues in ICU patients
NCT ID NCT07251764
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 140 critically ill adults to see if the difference between blood sugar and tissue sugar (the glucose gap) can help predict metabolism and survival. Researchers measured this gap using a small sensor placed under the skin. The goal was to find a simpler, less invasive way to monitor energy use and organ function in the ICU, without the need for complex equipment.
