Brain drug may tame Liver's sugar overdrive in diabetes

NCT ID NCT03540758

First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a medication called diazoxide can reduce the liver's overproduction of sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. The liver normally makes sugar to fuel the body, but in diabetes it makes too much, raising blood sugar. Researchers will give diazoxide or a placebo to 100 adults (with or without diabetes) and measure changes in liver sugar production. The goal is to understand how the brain controls the liver's sugar output, not to cure diabetes.
