Blood sugar and stroke outcomes over one year
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study watches how blood sugar levels affect recovery and risks over one year in people who come to the ER with a stroke. It aims to help doctors better manage blood sugar during emergency stroke care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had stroke symptoms (like face drooping or arm weakness) that started within the last 24 hours.
- A CT scan confirmed you had a stroke (not a different problem).
- You are older than 40 years.
- You do not have conditions like diabetic ketoacidosis, bleeding in the brain, or a recent mini-stroke.
- You were not already bedridden before the stroke, and you don't need help with daily activities.

This study measures how your body handles sugar and related hormones in people after a new STEMI heart attack, and compares them with people who do not have diabetes or have prediabetes. The goal is to better understand metabolic changes after the event, which could help future care.
This study uses blood tests to quickly identify the type of stroke in patients arriving at the emergency room. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment early on.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test measure (the triglyceride glucose index, which relates to blood sugar and fats) can help predict how much heart damage remains after emergency stent treatment for a heart attack. If you fit the criteria, joining may help doctors understand more about recovery and future risks.
This study looks at how your diet affects blood sugar spikes after meals. You will wear a small sensor that tracks your glucose for a short time, and you will keep a record of what you eat so the research team can see which foods may lead to higher or lower blood sugar.
This study tests a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a small sensor that tracks your blood sugar, in people who had a stroke and also have diabetes or high blood sugar. The goal is to see how well the sensor works and if it helps manage blood sugar during recovery.
This study compares giving insulin early versus waiting a bit to lower blood sugar after a severe stroke. It may help understand the best timing to treat high blood sugar in this situation.
