Using a continuous glucose monitor in hospitalized youth
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a small continuous glucose monitor (a sensor that checks your sugar levels all the time) can be used easily in youth who are in the hospital. It may help doctors track your blood sugar closely without needing as many finger sticks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 2 and 25 years old.
- You have diabetes (type 1, type 2, or another kind) or high blood sugar caused by a medication or another condition.
- You will be in the hospital for at least 36 hours (or at least 12 hours with a plan to stay longer).
- You are willing to wear a small sugar-monitoring sensor on your skin for the whole hospital stay (up to 14 days).
- You do not have a history of severe skin reactions to adhesive patches, and you are not pregnant, on hydroxyurea, or scheduled for an MRI or surgery during sensor use.

This study compares a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor on the skin) with the usual fingerstick method for checking blood sugar in hospitalized patients. It aims to see if the sensor is more convenient and just as accurate.
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 looks at how well continuous glucose monitors (small sensors under the skin that track sugar levels) work in ICU patients who need insulin. If you are in the ICU, on insulin, and already have a sensor, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether using a small sensor (continuous glucose monitor) to check your blood sugar while you're in the hospital can improve diabetes management. You'll wear the sensor for a few days and may not need as many finger-prick tests.
This study is testing whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks blood sugar) in the hospital can help kids with diabetes. It aims to make blood sugar monitoring easier and more effective during a hospital stay.
This trial tests how well continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) work during surgery and hospital stays in young people with type 1 diabetes. It aims to make sure these devices give accurate readings when they are most needed.
