Continuous glucose monitors to prevent hospital readmission
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have diabetes and will need to take insulin (not just a quick-fix sliding scale) after you leave the hospital.
- Your blood sugar has been out of control, with an HbA1c of 8% or higher.
- You do not currently use an insulin pump or a continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
- You are not pregnant, do not have severe skin problems where the sensor would go, and can use a smartphone with internet.
- You are not on dialysis, do not take hydroxyurea, and do not have a close family member working directly on this study.

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 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.
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 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 whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) after leaving the hospital helps people with type 2 or steroid-related diabetes manage their blood sugar with insulin. It is for adults who were treated in the hospital and need insulin when they go home.
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.
