Testing diabetes blood-sugar tracking for people with an LVAD
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people with an LVAD can manage their blood sugar when they use a continuous glucose monitor app on a smartphone. It may help your diabetes care team adjust treatment using more complete sugar data.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an LVAD pump placed using a modern design (HeartWare or HeartMate 3) sometime after 2010
- You have type 2 diabetes
- You are on diabetes treatment (any blood-sugar medicine or plan)
- Your LVAD has been in place for more than 3 months
- You can use a smartphone to upload glucose data using the LibreLink app
- You should be willing and able to return for a check-up at about 3 months

This trial tests if using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) after leaving the hospital helps manage diabetes. You wear a small sensor on your arm that checks your sugar levels all day and sends them to your phone.
This study tests whether wearing a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks blood sugar) can help people with heart failure and diabetes manage their health after being in the hospital. It may help doctors understand how blood sugar levels affect heart failure recovery.
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) like the FreeStyle Libre 3 helps people with type 2 diabetes stay on their new GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 medication longer. You must be starting a GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 drug for the first time and not already using a CGM.
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.
This study compares wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) all the time versus only now and then for people with type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin. It aims to see which way helps manage blood sugar better.
This study checks whether patient-guided lifestyle changes, supported by a continuous glucose monitor (a sensor), can improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help you and your care team see how food, activity, and habits affect your readings.
