Understanding Diabetes Recovery After Severe Blood Sugar Crisis
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain people can recover from a dangerous blood-sugar emergency called DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis). Researchers want to understand why some patients improve and how to help them stay healthy long-term.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be of African American ancestry
- You must have a BMI of 28 or higher (a measure of body weight relative to height)
- You must have experienced DKA—a medical emergency with very high blood sugar (over 250 mg/dL), low blood pH, and ketones in your blood
- You cannot have serious heart, kidney, or liver disease, or active infections
- You cannot be pregnant
- Your diabetes diagnosis must be new—discovered within 90 days of your DKA emergency

This study looks at whether the level of a protein called ferritin in your blood can help predict how well you recover from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). If you have DKA and are over 18, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how a continuous glucose monitor affects diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) risk. By tracking glucose levels closely, researchers hope to reduce dangerous complications.
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 tests different ways to monitor ketones (substances that can build up dangerously when your body lacks insulin) to lower the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in people with type 1 diabetes who also take SGLT-2 inhibitors (a type of diabetes drug). You'll wear a small sensor and follow a meal plan with carbs.
This trial studies people who develop severe, fast-onset “type 1 diabetes” with body-wide stress (ketosis/ketoacidosis) soon after symptoms start. It aims to better understand this condition and how to care for it early.
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.
