Why do insulin shots leave marks? new study investigates skin complications in kids with diabetes
NCT ID NCT07615803
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 199 children with type 1 diabetes who have been using insulin for at least 6 months. Researchers will check for skin problems like lumps under the skin (lipohypertrophy) caused by injections. They will also measure fat thickness with ultrasound and ask caregivers about their injection habits. The goal is to find out what factors lead to these skin complications, without giving any new treatment.
