Modified cornstarch therapy is a form of cornstarch used to treat glycogen storage disease.[1] It is typically given at night to try to keep blood sugar levels from going low.[1] Many children under one year of age, however, do not like uncooked cornstarch and other formulations are being studied.[2]
