AI spots hidden lumps that mess with insulin
NCT ID NCT05377268
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a machine learning program can detect lipohypertrophy—hidden lumps under the skin caused by insulin injections—using portable ultrasound. About 100 people with diabetes will first have their injection sites scanned. In a second phase, 40 people found to have these hidden lumps will have their blood sugar levels checked to see how injecting into these areas affects glucose control. The goal is to improve insulin absorption and diabetes management.
