Could a simple pill replace insulin shots for tiny preemies?

NCT ID NCT05687500

Summary

This study is testing if a pill called glibenclamide can safely control high blood sugar in very premature, low-birth-weight babies. It aims to offer an easier alternative to the current standard treatment, which involves tricky-to-manage insulin injections that carry a risk of dangerously low blood sugar. The trial will enroll 35 infants to see if the oral treatment works and is safe for this fragile group.
