Study of causes of persistent low blood sugar in children
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between birth and 18 years old.
- Your child has had low blood sugar that lasts for days or keeps coming back.
- Low blood sugar is not just a temporary problem from birth, being early, or a difficult delivery.
- Low blood sugar is not caused by not eating, being sick, or taking certain medicines.
