Could a Stick-On sensor replace the glucose drink test for pregnancy diabetes?
NCT ID NCT06858787
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This pilot study will enroll 150 pregnant individuals to see if a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can accurately diagnose gestational diabetes. Participants will wear a small sensor on their arm that measures blood sugar continuously. The results will be compared to the standard glucose tolerance test. If the CGM proves reliable, it could offer a more convenient alternative for diagnosis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- continuous glucose monitor (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a simpler, less burdensome way to diagnose gestational diabetes using a wearable sensor instead of multiple blood draws.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not be definitive. The device might not match the accuracy of the standard glucose tolerance test.
