Gut bugs may predict kidney decline in diabetes
NCT ID NCT07352436
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 270 adults with diabetic kidney disease to see if gut bacteria and blood chemicals influence blood sugar swings and disease progression. Researchers will track participants over time using continuous glucose monitors and stool/blood samples. The goal is to find early warning signs and improve care, not to test a new treatment.
