Hidden fat lumps may sabotage insulin: new study investigates

This study looked at whether small, hard-to-see fat lumps under the skin (called subclinical lipohypertrophy) change how insulin is absorbed in people with diabetes. Researchers planned to enroll 20 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who use insulin and had these hidden lumps. They measured blood sugar levels using continuous glucose monitors to see if injecting insulin into these areas affects glucose control. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
