First seen May 03, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether small, hard-to-see fat lumps (subclinical lipohypertrophy) under the skin change how insulin is absorbed in people with diabetes. Researchers planned to enroll 20 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who had these lumps and use continuous glucose monitors to track blood sugar levels. The goal was to understand if injecting insulin into these areas affects glucose control.
