Blood Flow Study in People with Low Blood Sugar After Weight Loss Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at blood flow in a neck artery in people who have low blood sugar after bariatric surgery compared to healthy individuals. It may help understand why some people experience hypoglycemia after weight loss surgery.

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.
This early-phase study looks at how the body’s hormone signals and nerve control affect insulin release after gastric bypass surgery. It may help researchers understand what drives low blood sugar and how to better monitor or treat it.
This study looks at blood sugar changes during eye surgery (vitrectomy) in people with diabetes. It uses a continuous glucose monitor to track sugar levels and help prevent dangerously low blood sugar.
This study looks at how food moves through the body and how that may affect episodes of low blood sugar caused by too much insulin. It may help researchers better understand and possibly improve care for people who get hypoglycemia, especially after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery.
This early trial studies how blood sugar moves in people after certain weight-loss surgery compared with people without surgery. It may help researchers understand why blood sugar can drop too low and how treatments like atropine affect that process.
This trial tests whether a new way of using glucose monitoring can help manage low blood sugar that happens after meals in people who have had gastric bypass surgery. It aims to find better ways to track and treat these episodes.
