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 wearing a continuous glucose monitor can help people with prediabetes understand their blood sugar patterns. You would wear a small sensor on your arm, and the results may help you make changes to prevent diabetes.
This study tests whether wearing a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor on your skin that tracks your blood sugar) can help people with prediabetes and obesity better control their blood sugar and lose weight. You will be asked to wear the device for several days to see how your glucose levels change throughout the day.
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks sugar levels continuously) along with nutritional counseling helps teens who are overweight or at risk for type 2 diabetes make healthier food choices. If your child joins, they will wear a small sensor and get extra support to improve their diet and lower their risk.
This study uses continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), small devices that track blood sugar levels, in people having weight-loss (metabolic) surgery. It aims to understand how blood sugar changes after surgery and may help improve care.
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.
