Cream for low blood sugar in newborns
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is testing a cream to treat low blood sugar in newborns. It is for babies who are at risk for low blood sugar because of conditions like mother's diabetes, being smaller or larger than usual, or being born a few weeks early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be at risk for low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) because of certain conditions before or after birth.
- Your baby must not have any major birth defects.
- Your baby must not have been sent directly to the NICU right after delivery.

This study checks whether a continuous glucose monitor can safely track blood sugar levels in newborns. It may help doctors better understand glucose patterns in babies at birth.
This study checks how well continuous glucose monitors work in newborns. It aims to improve care for babies by making glucose monitoring easier and less invasive.
This study looks at how betamethasone, a steroid given to help babies' lungs mature, affects blood sugar levels in pregnant women without diabetes. It may help ensure safer treatment for women at risk of early labor.
This trial uses a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor placed on the skin) to track blood sugar levels in newborns whose mothers used insulin for gestational diabetes. The goal is to see if this monitoring helps prevent low blood sugar in babies.
This trial tests if giving pasteurized donor human milk to newborns of mothers with diabetes can help their health. It compares donor milk to regular baby formula as a supplement when extra feeding is needed soon after birth.
This study tests if a father's gentle touch (like holding or stroking) can help newborns at risk for low blood sugar stay calm, suck better, and keep stable blood sugar. It aims to see if simple skin-to-skin contact from dad makes a difference in the critical first hours.
