Insulin timing for severe stroke patients with high blood sugar
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares giving insulin early versus waiting a bit to lower blood sugar after a severe stroke. It may help understand the best timing to treat high blood sugar in this situation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a severe stroke (either from a clot or bleeding) in the last 24 hours.
- Your blood sugar is above 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) at the time of joining the study.
- You do not have type 1 diabetes or a known allergy to insulin.
- You were able to walk and care for yourself before the stroke (no major disability).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks blood sugar levels) in people who have had a stroke and also have type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see how well the monitor works and if it helps manage blood sugar after a stroke.
This trial tests whether an SGLT2 inhibitor (a diabetes medicine) can protect the brain after a recent moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke. It may help reduce damage and improve recovery.
This study tests if adding a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of diabetes medicine that also helps blood vessels) to standard clot removal can improve recovery after a severe stroke. It is for people who had a clot removal for a large artery blockage and can start the drug within 6 hours.
This study watches how blood sugar levels affect recovery and risks over one year in people who come to the ER with a stroke. It aims to help doctors better manage blood sugar during emergency stroke care.
This trial tests a smart insulin pump (hybrid closed-loop system) to control high blood sugar after brain surgery for bleeding strokes. It's for people with type 2 diabetes who are stable enough to leave the intensive care unit and are getting tube feedings.
This trial tests a treatment for people with very high blood pressure who may be having a stroke. It could help reduce damage before reaching the hospital.
