What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

Researchers test whether adding a predictive app to a continuous glucose monitor changes fear of low blood sugar, sleep quality, and diabetes distress in adults with type 1 or insulin-treated type 2 diabetes. Participants use the monitor alone for two weeks, then with the app for four weeks. They answer questionnaires and smartphone prompts about their experiences, and a small group joins interviews.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Accu-Chek SmartGuide continuous glucose monitoring system with the Predict App
What this could lead to
If the predictive app helps, it could give people with diabetes a way to feel less afraid of low blood sugar and manage daily life with more confidence.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short study without a control group, so improvements may come from paying attention rather than the app. The results may not apply to everyone with diabetes.
