Can a wearable sensor replace fingerstick tests in the ICU?
NCT ID NCT06645873
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 ICU patients to see if a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) works as well as standard fingerstick tests for tracking blood sugar. The goal was to find out if CGM is reliable enough to use in the ICU. Results will help doctors decide if this technology can improve care for critically ill patients.
