Could a wearable sensor replace fingerstick checks for sepsis patients in the ICU?

This trial tests whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) — a small sensor worn on the arm — can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively than standard fingerstick checks in critically ill sepsis patients. Sepsis patients often have unstable blood sugar, which can lead to complications. The study compares the CGM's accuracy, how well it helps staff follow treatment guidelines, and whether it saves time. If it works, CGM could offer a more reliable and less labor-intensive way to monitor glucose in the ICU.
