Lactate meter accuracy for children with GSD type Ia
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple finger-stick lactate meter gives accurate results for children and adults with a specific type of glycogen storage disease (GSD Ia). It aims to find a faster, easier way to monitor health during emergency visits or hospital stays.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD Ia) through a liver biopsy or genetic test.
- You are being seen in the Connecticut Children's Emergency Department or admitted to Connecticut Children's hospital while the study is running.
- If you are a child, your parent or legal guardian must agree to the study and sign a consent form.
- If you are an adult, you must be able to understand the study and sign a consent form yourself.
- You do not have other types of glycogen storage disease (like unspecified type or type Ib).

This study tests how well a home lactate meter and a standard blood sugar meter work for people with certain types of Glycogen Storage Disease (GSD Ia, Ib, or XI). If you or your child has one of these types, joining could help improve home monitoring.
This study tests an experimental medicine called BEAM-301 for people with a specific form of glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa). The goal is to see if it can help reduce dangerous low blood sugar episodes.
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.
This study uses a glucose monitor (a small sensor you wear) to measure how your blood sugar responds after eating raw cornstarch, a common treatment for glycogen storage disease type I. The goal is to understand how well cornstarch helps keep your blood sugar steady.
This study is creating a registry (a database) to better understand glycogen storage diseases in Indian children. If your child has a confirmed genetic diagnosis, joining helps doctors learn more about the condition and improve care.
This trial tests how well continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) work during surgery and hospital stays in young people with type 1 diabetes. It aims to make sure these devices give accurate readings when they are most needed.
