Using a glucose monitor after hospital discharge
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks your blood sugar) after you leave the hospital can help you manage your diabetes better. You may benefit from more frequent glucose readings to adjust your insulin and avoid dangerous highs and lows.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older
- You were treated in the hospital for type 2 diabetes or steroid-induced diabetes
- You will need to take insulin after going home
- You do not have type 1 diabetes
- You will not be going to a rehab, nursing, or hospice facility after leaving the hospital
- You are not pregnant and have no skin issues that would block the glucose sensor

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 checks whether using a continuous glucose monitor for 2 weeks after you leave the hospital helps you manage blood sugar better when you are newly starting insulin. It may help your care team adjust insulin and track glucose trends more closely right after discharge.
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 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 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.
