Tiny sensor reveals hidden blood sugar swings in fragile infants
NCT ID NCT05902104
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how blood sugar levels change in hospitalized babies with intestinal failure when their intravenous nutrition is given in cycles instead of continuously. Nine infants wore a small sensor on their thigh that measured glucose every 5 minutes for up to 30 days. The goal was to better understand blood sugar patterns and help improve care for these babies in the future.
