NCT ID NCT05422430

First seen May 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looked at how short, repeated breath-holding (causing low oxygen) changes the way the body handles sugar. Twenty healthy adults, people with prediabetes, and those with type 2 diabetes took a sugar drink test while their blood sugar was measured. The goal was to understand if low oxygen affects glucose uptake, which could help explain how breathing patterns influence blood sugar control.
