New study aims to unlock dangerous blood sugar drops in infants
NCT ID NCT04522193
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why some babies born with esophageal atresia develop dumping syndrome, a condition causing dangerous blood sugar drops after feeding. Researchers will monitor 15 infants with continuous glucose and heart monitors and a stomach-emptying scan at 3 months old. The goal is to understand the causes so doctors can find better treatments and prevent harm.
