HYPOGLYCEMIA

This small, early-stage study tested whether taking high doses of omega-3 fatty acids (like those in fish oil) and vitamin D could help people with type 1 diabetes. Researchers wanted to see if this combination was safe and if it could help the body preserve its own ability to ma…

This study tested if a continuous glucose monitor worn on the skin could better manage low blood sugar in very small premature babies. 48 babies were randomly assigned to either the new continuous monitor or the standard method of periodic finger-prick tests. The goal was to see …

This study tested if using the latest automated insulin delivery technology along with a low-carbohydrate diet could help restore the body's natural defense against dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in people with type 1 diabetes. Twenty-four participants with long-term …

This study aimed to understand how a prior episode of low blood sugar affects the body's automatic nervous system, which controls things like heart rate and blood pressure. Researchers tested 28 healthy adults to see if a drug called spironolactone could protect these automatic f…

This study aimed to understand how a physical stressor—moderately low blood sugar—affects connections in the brain and the body's automatic nervous system, which controls things like heart rate and blood pressure. Researchers used brain scans and monitored bodily functions in 74 …

This study aimed to measure how often older adults with diabetes living in long-term care facilities experience dangerously low blood sugar. Researchers used a continuous glucose monitor worn for 10 days on 86 residents to track these events. The goal was to gather better informa…

This study aimed to find a better way to predict dangerous low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in people with Type 1 diabetes. Researchers tested 62 participants to see if measuring a hormone called glucagon after they ate a meal could act as a warning sign for future hypoglycemia. Th…

This study tested whether a small, wearable glucose sensor is practical and effective for monitoring blood sugar in newborns at risk of low levels. Researchers placed the sensor on 25 babies' thighs shortly after birth and compared its readings to standard blood tests for up to 7…

This study aimed to understand how low blood sugar affects the body's automatic nervous system in people with well-controlled type 2 diabetes. Researchers monitored 14 participants during controlled low-blood-sugar episodes to measure changes in how their bodies regulate blood pr…

This study aimed to see if a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor worn on the body) could help predict when people with type 2 diabetes are at risk for dangerously low blood sugar. 41 participants, considered at either high or low risk for these episodes, wore monitors that…
