Can a common pill protect your heart from sugar crashes?

NCT ID NCT03429946

Summary

This study aimed to understand how a past episode of low blood sugar affects the body's automatic nervous system, which controls things like heart rate and blood pressure. Researchers tested 28 healthy adults to see if a drug called spironolactone could prevent any negative effects on heart and nerve function caused by low blood sugar. Participants underwent controlled blood sugar changes in a hospital setting while their body's automatic responses were carefully measured.
