NCT ID NCT01407640
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at 55 adults with diabetes who are either allergic to insulin or not, to better understand and diagnose insulin allergy. Researchers will test a step-by-step diagnostic approach and study the immune system's role. The goal is to make it easier to identify the exact cause of the allergy so that patients can continue receiving life-saving insulin safely.
