Studying brain sugar changes in adults with risky low blood sugar
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This early-stage study looks at how the brain uses sugar in people with type 1 diabetes who have had severe or hard-to-notice low blood sugar. It may help researchers understand the brain effects of low blood sugar and guide safer care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 diabetes and are 18 to 55 years old
- You have a history of severe low blood sugar and/or low blood sugar unawareness
- Or you had documented very low blood sugar (less than 54 mg/dL) recently
- Your weight is 85 kg or less at the screening visit
- Your BMI is 30 or less (or you are not in the obesity range for BMI)
- You do not have untreated proliferative diabetic eye disease (retinopathy)

This study tests if a very low-carb (ketogenic) diet is safe and helps control blood sugar in people with type 1 diabetes. You would follow the diet for a period and use a continuous glucose monitor to track your levels.
This study looks at whether the way the brain uses sugar (glucose) in people with type 2 diabetes can improve, and whether changes track with tighter diabetes treatment. You may get brain scans (MRI/MRS) and diabetes monitoring to see if there’s “reversibility” in the brain’s sugar transport.
This Phase 2 study tests how certain channels in the brain help control how your body makes and releases sugar (glucose). It may help explain blood sugar problems in people with type 2 diabetes and healthy volunteers.
This study tests whether a “ketosis” state changes brain function in adults with type 1 diabetes. You may be asked to follow specific diet/food delivery plans and use devices that track glucose, which could help researchers understand how metabolism affects the brain.
This study tests whether very low-carbohydrate diets change glucagon response in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand how diet affects blood-sugar control in people using insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors.
This early study tests how people respond to different degrees of low blood sugar. It may help researchers understand what “low sugar” feels like and how to make it safer to detect and manage.
