Using 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 can help prevent patients from being readmitted. A CGM is a small wearable device that tracks your blood sugar around the clock.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have diabetes and will need insulin (not just sliding scale insulin) after you leave the hospital.
- Your blood sugar is not well controlled, with an HbA1c of 8% or higher.
- You have a smartphone and internet access.
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have kidney dialysis or certain skin conditions that would prevent wearing a small monitor.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
