Improving diabetes care with wearable sensors
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if wearing two devices (a continuous glucose monitor and a sports wristband) can help improve diabetes care. It focuses on people with type 2 diabetes who live in certain Chicago neighborhoods and are willing to use the devices.

This study tests whether combining a smartwatch, a smartphone app, and continuous glucose monitoring can better predict blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. You would wear a Samsung watch, use a health app, and take photos of your meals.
This study checks how well periodic continuous glucose monitoring works for adults with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to wear a sensor that tracks glucose more often than finger-stick checks, which can help improve day-to-day glucose control.
This study tests a new extended-wear sensor that helps track glucose levels continuously. It is designed to see if a next-generation sensor is accurate and safe for people with diabetes.
This study tests a new way to diagnose diabetes in older adults by using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) — a small sensor worn on the arm — to get a more accurate picture of blood sugar than the standard A1c test alone. If you qualify, you'll wear the sensor for about 48 days, and the results may help your doctor know whether you truly have diabetes.
This study compares two ways of tracking blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes who use insulin. It aims to see if one method helps manage glucose better, which could improve daily control and long-term health.
This study tests whether a team of community health worker and pharmacist can help improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to use a continuous glucose monitor (a sensor that tracks sugar levels) and take part in support visits.
