Can home tests replace lab draws for rare disease patients?
NCT ID NCT07459582
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if a home lactate meter and a standard glucose meter give accurate readings compared to lab tests in people with glycogen storage disease types Ia, Ib, and XI. Ten participants will have an 8-hour hospital stay with hourly blood draws and finger-stick tests. The goal is to make monitoring easier and more convenient for patients.
