Blood sugar rollercoaster linked to heart deaths in diabetics
NCT ID NCT07506824
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how ups and downs in blood sugar affect diabetic patients admitted to the coronary care unit. Researchers will track 120 adults with diabetes and heart disease to see if glucose variability increases the risk of death or major heart problems like heart attack or stroke. The goal is to understand whether steady blood sugar control could improve outcomes.
