Glucose monitoring study of cornstarch in glycogen storage disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a glucose monitor (a small sensor you wear) to measure how your blood sugar responds after eating raw cornstarch, a common treatment for glycogen storage disease type I. The goal is to understand how well cornstarch helps keep your blood sugar steady.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a confirmed genetic diagnosis of GSD type Ia or Ib (glycogen storage disease type I)
- You are 18 years old or older
- You currently use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) as part of your routine care
- You already eat raw cornstarch regularly as part of your treatment
- You do not have a psychiatric disorder, are not pregnant, and do not have celiac disease

This study tests whether a carbohydrate counting method helps children with glycogen storage disease type 1 (GSD1) better manage their blood sugar, improve quality of life, and affect certain biomarkers. It may help families learn a new way to plan meals and stabilize glucose levels.
This trial tests different diet strategies to help adults with GSDI (a metabolic condition also known as von Gierke disease) maintain stable blood sugars and avoid dangerous drops. It may help you learn how to better manage your condition through diet.
This study tests how well a home lactate meter and a standard blood sugar meter work for people with certain types of Glycogen Storage Disease (GSD Ia, Ib, or XI). If you or your child has one of these types, joining could help improve home monitoring.
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.
This study tests a wearable device that may measure blood sugar without needles. It could help people manage their diet and health more easily.
This study tests whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help manage blood sugar in people with diabetes and gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying). If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and stomach symptoms, this could help doctors better understand your glucose patterns.
