Could hot and cold weather mess with your insulin?
NCT ID NCT07491133
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how different temperatures—cold, normal, and hot—affect blood sugar levels and insulin absorption in adults with type 1 diabetes. Thirty participants will sit in a special room at each temperature for two hours while researchers monitor their blood sugar, heart rate, and insulin levels. The goal is to understand if people with type 1 diabetes need special advice for managing their blood sugar during extreme weather.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Environmental temperature exposure (cold, neutral, hot/humid)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide guidance for people with type 1 diabetes on managing blood sugar during extreme weather.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is designed to gather knowledge, not to test a new treatment.
