NCT ID NCT03079921
First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase study looked at how nerve signals and the hormone epinephrine influence blood sugar regulation in 9 people with type 1 diabetes who had received islet cell transplants. Researchers used medications to block specific nerve and hormone pathways during controlled low blood sugar events. The goal was to understand why these transplants help prevent dangerous low blood sugar, not to test a new treatment.
