New study: can a Two-Week monitor improve blood sugar control for new insulin users?
NCT ID NCT05548205
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for two weeks after leaving the hospital helps people with diabetes who are starting insulin for the first time. About 150 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes will be randomly assigned to use either a CGM or standard finger-stick blood sugar checks. The goal is to see if CGM leads to better blood sugar control and fewer complications over three months.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female aged 18-100 years 2. Known history of type 1 or type 2 diabetes 3. Admitted to NYU Langone Hospital - Long Island between December 16, 2024- December 31, 2026 4. New initiation of insulin therapy, including basal insulin regimen, basal-bolus insulin regimen, or mixed insulin regimen at the time of hospital discharge Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior to admission use of home insulin therapy 2. Current use of systemic corticosteroids 3. Active pregnancy; as pregnancy requires different blood glucose targets, subjects known to be pregnant will be excluded from this study. Subjects will not be tested for pregnancy outside of testing performed in routine medical care; pregnancy will be determined by patient self-reporting. Females of childbearing potential will not be instructed to avoid pregnancy, however if they became pregnant during the study (detected by self-reporting), they will be withdrawn from the study.
