Pill may free babies with rare diabetes from daily insulin shots
NCT ID NCT00610038
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether babies with a rare, permanent form of diabetes caused by specific gene changes could switch from daily insulin injections to an oral pill called glibenclamide. Nineteen infants took part. The goal was to see if the pill could control their blood sugar and possibly improve their development, while avoiding the need for lifelong insulin.
