Glucose monitoring for young adults at risk of DKA
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a real-time glucose monitor (RT-CGM) to help young adults with insulin-treated diabetes recognize dangerously high or fast-changing blood sugars. It may help lower the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious complication that can lead to urgent care or hospital stays.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 25 years old
- You take insulin (by injections or an insulin pump) and have for more than 12 months
- Your diabetes control is not at goal (high HbA1c) or you had DKA or uncontrolled blood sugar admissions in the last 12 months
- You have not used RT-CGM before (you may have used “flash” glucose monitoring for short periods)
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced (eGFR is 30 or higher)
- You are not pregnant or planning pregnancy, and you are not breastfeeding

This study tests a continuous glucose monitor (a sensor that tracks glucose) for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who receive care at home through Mayo’s Advanced Care at Home program. It may help by improving how safely and accurately blood sugar is followed while you’re at home.
This trial studies how well a continuous glucose monitor (a sensor that tracks glucose) works for managing blood sugar in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. You may need to wear sensors and have glucose levels adjusted during clinic visits to test safety and effectiveness.
This study uses a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to check how well your body controls blood sugar. It is for people who may have early signs of diabetes or are at risk and want to better understand their glucose health.
This trial tests if using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks your sugar levels without fingersticks) helps young adults manage type 2 diabetes better. You will wear the sensor and use a phone app to track your glucose.
This trial tests if using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) helps older adults with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin to better control their blood sugar. The results will show if CGM is a helpful tool for managing diabetes without daily shots.
This trial tests a new device that measures blood sugar and ketones continuously. It may help people with type 1 diabetes who use an insulin pump keep better track of their levels.
