Comparing CGM to finger-stick glucose checks in hospitalized adults with type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study compares a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to standard finger-stick blood sugar checks in adults with type 1 diabetes while they are in the hospital and after they go home. It aims to see if using a CGM leads to better blood sugar control during and after hospitalization.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 diabetes (not type 2) and are treated with insulin.
- You are currently in the hospital with poorly controlled diabetes (blood sugar over 180 mg/dL or A1C over 7%), including conditions like diabetic ketoacidosis.
- Your doctor expects you to be in the hospital for more than 3 days.
- You are not in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and do not already use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) at home.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have serious liver, kidney, or mental health conditions that would interfere.

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.
This trial tests whether using your own continuous glucose monitor (CGM) while you are in the hospital (but not the ICU) can help better manage your blood sugar levels. If you already use a CGM at home and are admitted for at least two days, you may be able to keep using it during your stay.
This trial tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) when you leave the hospital helps control blood sugar better. If you have type 2 diabetes and use insulin, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) after leaving the hospital helps people with diabetes avoid being readmitted. If you have high blood sugar and need insulin at home, this device might help you manage better.
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help people with type 2 diabetes who need insulin after leaving the hospital. It aims to improve blood sugar control during this transition period.
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.
