Finding hidden diabetes in dialysis patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a continuous glucose monitor to check for undiagnosed diabetes in people on dialysis. If you participate, you will wear a small sensor for about 10 days and take a sugary drink test to see how your body handles sugar.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been on dialysis for more than 3 months.
- You are willing to wear a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor) for at least 10 days.
- You are willing to take an oral glucose tolerance test, which involves drinking a sugary liquid and having blood drawn.
- You have never been diagnosed with diabetes and have not used insulin or any diabetes medicine in the past.
- You are not pregnant and not planning to become pregnant during the study.
- You do not have an allergy to medical-grade adhesives (the sticky part of the sensor).

This study tests a small sensor called a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that tracks your blood sugar after kidney transplant. It helps doctors see how your body handles sugar during recovery.
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 tests if using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks blood sugar without finger pricks) helps people with type 2 diabetes who are on insulin and have trouble accessing care. It's for patients in the New Orleans area with Medicaid, free care, or no insurance.
This study tests whether continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) work accurately in people doing peritoneal dialysis with icodextrin solution. It may help you manage your diabetes better by showing your glucose levels in real time.
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks blood sugar levels throughout the day) can help improve diabetes control in people who are on peritoneal dialysis (a type of kidney dialysis done at home). It aims to see if this technology leads to better health outcomes.
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a small device that checks blood sugar constantly) can help people with diabetes who are on peritoneal dialysis manage their blood sugar better. It might give a clearer picture of glucose levels than finger-prick tests alone.
