Can a glucose monitor help reverse type 2 diabetes?
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a flash glucose monitor (a small sensor on your arm) plus a low-calorie meal replacement plan helps people with type 2 diabetes achieve remission (normal blood sugar without medication). It compares this to the usual finger-prick blood sugar testing. You may be able to stop or reduce your diabetes medications if remission is achieved.

This real-world study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (isCGM) with or without pharmacist coaching helps people with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin improve their blood sugar control. It compares these approaches to standard blood sugar checking and looks for better HbA1c results after three months.
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 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 checks whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM, a sensor that tracks blood sugar) is practical and helpful for people with type 2 diabetes in primary care settings. It focuses on people who may have a harder time getting diabetes support and have higher A1c levels.
This study tests whether a low-calorie diet combined with a personalized lifestyle program can help people with type 2 diabetes reach remission, meaning their blood sugar stays normal without needing diabetes medication. It uses a smartphone app to support the program.
This study gives continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to people with type 2 diabetes who cannot afford them. It looks at whether using a CGM helps improve blood sugar control.
