Study on glucose and stress in firefighters
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how stress affects glucose levels in firefighters. It may help find ways to monitor stress and improve health.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a closed-loop glucose monitoring and insulin delivery system (like an artificial pancreas) in a controlled hospital-like setting. Researchers will monitor how well it manages blood sugar in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who use insulin.
This study looks at how people with fatty liver and type 2 diabetes respond to glucagon, a hormone that helps control blood sugar. It may help researchers understand a condition called 'glucagon resistance' and find better treatments.
This study looks at ways to better recognize and manage the emotional stress that can come with type 1 diabetes. It tests a new approach to care that includes training for your healthcare team and support from family or friends.
This study tests a new way to measure how the brain uses sugar (glucose) to see if the hormone glucagon affects it. It may help researchers understand how certain hormones work in the body.
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 trial looks at how working in a hot environment affects blood sugar control. It is testing if your body handles sugar differently during exercise in heat.
