Hidden fat lumps may sabotage insulin: new study investigates
NCT ID NCT02748434
First seen May 03, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study looked at whether small, hidden fat lumps under the skin (called subclinical lipohypertrophy) change how insulin is absorbed in people with diabetes. Researchers used continuous glucose monitors to track blood sugar levels in 9 participants who had these lumps. The goal was to understand if injecting insulin into these areas affects glucose control, but the study was stopped early, so results are limited.
