Blood test may predict falls in diabetic patients

NCT ID NCT07480330

First seen Apr 10, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a protein in the blood called NfL can help doctors understand how severe diabetic nerve damage is and if it raises the risk of falling. Researchers will measure NfL levels in 80 adults with type 2 diabetes, some with nerve damage and some without, and compare those levels to balance tests and fall risk questionnaires. The goal is to find a simple blood test that could identify patients who need extra help to prevent falls.
