Umbilical cord blood sugar and follow-up for babies
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks whether babies born with low blood sugar in the umbilical cord later develop a problem where the body makes too much insulin, which can cause blood sugar to drop again. Joining may help doctors find and treat this earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must have been born at a participating Danish hospital.
- Your baby's blood sugar level from the umbilical cord must have been low (3.5 or lower).
- If your baby is in the follow-up study, they must have been diagnosed with too much insulin in the body.
- A parent or guardian must give written permission.

This study looks at how diabetes during pregnancy affects children’s or babies’ heart health over time. It may help researchers understand risks early, especially for families with a diabetes history during pregnancy.
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 uses ultrasound images to check for high insulin levels in unborn babies. It may help doctors detect problems early and improve care for moms and babies.
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 looks at babies who had low biotinidase enzyme activity on their newborn screening test. It aims to understand the genetic cause and track their health over time. If your child had low activity on this test, this study may help provide important follow-up care.
This study uses a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks your blood sugar) after you give birth to see if your blood sugar levels return to normal. It may help detect early signs of type 2 diabetes and guide your postpartum care.
