NCT ID NCT04322435
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how often children with a rare adrenal gland problem (congenital adrenal insufficiency) experience dangerously low blood sugar. Even with standard treatment, these children may have low blood sugar without obvious symptoms. Researchers monitored 9 children aged 6 months to 6 years to find the true rate of these events.
