New hope for kids with hidden low blood sugar: multi-pronged study targets brain and behavior
NCT ID NCT06488469
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study will test whether a multi-domain program—including psychological support, diet changes, targeted therapy, and parent counseling—can improve thinking skills and behavior in 50 children (ages 6-16) with Type-1 diabetes who have hypoglycemia unawareness (not feeling low blood sugar). The goal is to see if this approach helps children manage their condition better and reduces related problems.
