This study looked at whether replacing breakfast with a low glycemic index shake could improve blood sugar and insulin levels in overweight but otherwise healthy adults. 46 participants ate either the shake or a bowl of oat cereal for two weeks. Researchers measured blood sugar a…

This pilot study looked at whether giving the diabetes drug metformin around the time of hip or knee replacement surgery is feasible and helps control blood sugar. Forty adults, with or without diabetes, were randomly assigned to receive metformin or a placebo. The main goal was …

This study tested whether electronic alerts in the emergency department help doctors start diabetes care sooner. 300 adults with high blood sugar were included. The alerts prompted doctors to order additional tests and arrange follow-up appointments. The goal was to see if this l…

This study tested whether a fully-automated digital diabetes prevention program works as well as standard human coach-based programs. 368 adults with prediabetes and overweight took part. The goal was to see if the digital program could help people lose weight, increase physical …

This study looked at whether using continuous glucose monitors (CGM) alongside standard finger-stick tests is practical for ICU patients with high blood sugar or on IV insulin. Researchers tracked how often blood sugar stayed in a healthy range and how often it dropped too low. T…

This study looked at whether exercising in the morning or evening helps control blood sugar better in pregnant women with gestational diabetes or glucose intolerance. 39 participants walked or stepped for 30 minutes either after breakfast or after dinner. Researchers measured blo…

This study placed a continuous glucose monitor on very preterm babies (born before 31 weeks) to track their blood sugar levels for up to 10 days. The goal was to see how well the device detects high and low blood sugar and to link those readings to the babies' growth and brain de…

This study followed 1290 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes for two years to see how mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and eating problems relate to blood sugar control. Participants completed surveys, interviews, and daily smartphone check-ins about mood and stre…

This study looked at how blood sugar levels change in hospitalized infants with intestinal failure when their intravenous nutrition is given in cycles instead of continuously. Nine babies wore a small sensor on their thigh that measured sugar levels every 5 minutes for up to 30 d…

This study looked at whether continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can accurately track blood sugar levels in newborns during their first three days of life. Researchers enrolled 25 babies who were large for their age or whose mothers had diabetes. The goal was to see if CGM reading…

This study looked at 20 non-diabetic ICU patients to see if there is a link between blood sugar levels and heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of nervous system health. The goal was to better understand stress-induced high blood sugar in critically ill patients. Researchers m…
