Testing a new device for less painful blood sugar checks
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that may measure blood sugar with less pain than finger pricks. It compares the device's readings to your own finger-prick test, and checks how much pain you feel.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- You either have diabetes (type 1, type 2, or gestational) and check your blood sugar with finger pricks, OR you are at high risk for diabetes (e.g., overweight, over 45, family history, etc.).
- You can test your own blood sugar with a standard glucose meter.
- You do not have nerve damage, chronic pain, or numbness in your fingers.
- You are not taking strong painkillers or narcotics (including within the last 4 hours).

This study is testing a new device that measures blood sugar without a finger prick. It is open to healthy adults and people with type 2 diabetes, to see if the non-invasive meter works as well as standard blood tests.
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 tests a new glucose sensor placed inside a blood vessel to see how well it measures blood sugar. If you have diabetes and use intensive insulin therapy, this could be a way to help improve monitoring.
This study tests a new sensor system that tracks glucose levels continuously and can give a quick reading when you wave a device over it. It aims to see if it's safe and accurate for people with diabetes.
This trial tests a new light-based sensor that can be used on your finger to monitor health without needing batteries. You are being asked to help see if this sensor works well for people like you.
This study tests a new continuous glucose monitor that checks your blood sugar levels in real time. It aims to see how accurate and safe it is for people with diabetes.
