Continuous glucose monitoring for type 2 diabetes in the hospital
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must have type 2 diabetes and be taking at least one medication for it.
- You must be in the hospital and expected to stay for at least two more days.
- You must be able to understand and follow the study plan, and communicate in Danish or English.
- You can't be pregnant, allergic to the sensor adhesive, or currently having a diabetic emergency like ketoacidosis.
- You can't be taking hydroxyurea or receiving nutrition through a tube or IV.

This study is testing whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks blood sugar) in the hospital can help kids with diabetes. It aims to make blood sugar monitoring easier and more effective during a hospital stay.
This study tests using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks blood sugar all the time) to help guide the dose of insulin given through an IV. This is for patients who are not in the ICU but need insulin therapy for over a day, especially those on steroids or special nutrition.
This study looks at using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks blood sugar all day) in people with type 2 diabetes who are not taking insulin. It aims to see if using the monitor helps improve blood sugar control.
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 looks at whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks blood sugar levels around the clock) can help people who were just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar better. If you join, you would wear the sensor for a while and get regular feedback, which might help you learn how food and habits affect your sugar levels.
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.
