Blood sugar levels in children with Long QT syndrome on beta-blockers
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how often low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) happens in young children with Long QT syndrome who take beta-blocker medicine. It may help doctors understand if these children need extra monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- For the study group: children under 7 years old with a confirmed genetic diagnosis of Long QT syndrome type 1 or 2
- Currently taking beta-blocker medication
- For the control group: healthy children who are siblings of a child with Long QT syndrome
- Must not have diabetes, certain metabolic disorders, or other serious illnesses
- Must not have had any surgeries that could affect digestion or be on medications that cause low blood sugar

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 study tests if a breath device can spot high or low blood sugar in teens with type 1 diabetes without a fingerstick. Participants will use the device a few times and share their CGM data.
This study looks at why some children have dangerously low blood sugar that won't go away. Researchers will check hormones, body chemistry, and genes to find the cause and help better treat it.
This study checks if a continuous glucose monitor (a small device that tracks blood sugar levels throughout the day) works well for children with cystic fibrosis who have early blood sugar problems. It could help doctors better manage these issues before they become diabetes.
This study tests whether a small continuous glucose monitor (a sensor that checks your sugar levels all the time) can be used easily in youth who are in the hospital. It may help doctors track your blood sugar closely without needing as many finger sticks.
This study uses a continuous glucose monitor to track blood sugar fluctuations in people with different types of glucose metabolism issues, including those with genetic diabetes or high insulin levels. The goal is to understand how blood sugar varies, which may help improve care.
