Does surgery heat affect glucose monitors in type 1 diabetes?
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study checks whether the heat used during surgery (diathermy) affects how well your continuous glucose monitor works. If you're having a planned operation and use an Abbott or Dexcom monitor, this could help ensure your glucose readings stay accurate around surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 diabetes.
- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) surgery at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
- You currently use one of these continuous glucose monitors: Abbott Libre-2, Abbott Libre-3, Dexcom G6, or Dexcom G7.
- You are 4 years old or older on the day of surgery.
- You agree not to take high doses of paracetamol (acetaminophen), any hydroxyurea, or more than 500 mg of vitamin C per day in the 7 days before surgery.
- You are not currently taking any other investigational medications as part of another clinical trial.

This trial checks how well a continuous glucose monitor works during heart surgery. It aims to help manage blood sugar levels more safely in the operating room.
This study tests whether a wearable glucose monitor (Dexcom G7) works well in patients in intensive care after major abdominal surgery or organ transplant who need insulin therapy. The monitor measures blood sugar continuously to help doctors manage insulin doses more safely.
This study uses continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), small devices that track blood sugar levels, in people having weight-loss (metabolic) surgery. It aims to understand how blood sugar changes after surgery and may help improve care.
This study is testing a small wearable sensor (continuous glucose monitor) to track blood sugar levels during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if it works well in that setting, which could improve how doctors manage your sugar levels during surgery.
