Using continuous glucose monitors for kids with diabetes in the hospital
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are staying in the hospital as an inpatient.
- You have diabetes and use a Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks your blood sugar).
- You use the Dexcom G7 app on your phone to see your readings, and you are willing to share that data with the hospital's research team.
- You are expected to stay in the hospital for more than one day after joining the study.
- You are not taking medications that could affect how accurately the sensor works.
- You are not already taking part in another clinical trial that conflicts with this one.

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 will look at how well Dexcom continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) work in real life. It helps people with diabetes track their blood sugar levels and may lead to better control of their condition.
This study tests using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks blood sugar all the time) to help guide the dose of insulin given through an IV. This is for patients who are not in the ICU but need insulin therapy for over a day, especially those on steroids or special nutrition.
This study looks at using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks blood sugar all day) in people with type 2 diabetes who are not taking insulin. It aims to see if using the monitor helps improve blood sugar control.
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.
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.
