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 small sensor that measures blood sugar continuously is accurate in newborn babies. It may help doctors better monitor and care for babies' sugar levels after birth.
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 study uses a small sensor to continuously monitor blood sugar levels in newborns whose mothers had insulin-treated gestational diabetes. It aims to make sure babies' glucose levels stay healthy after birth.
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.
This study tests a special supplement added to preterm infant feeding. The supplement contains beneficial sugars found in breast milk, which may help babies digest better and grow. It is for premature babies who have started small feedings but are not yet fully feeding.
