Could a simple monitor transform blood sugar control for millions with type 2 diabetes?

NCT ID NCT06601166

First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) helps adults with type 2 diabetes who do not take insulin improve their blood sugar control. Participants are randomly assigned to either use a real-time CGM or receive routine care with occasional blinded CGM wear. The main goal is to see if CGM use leads to better HbA1c levels after 26 weeks compared to standard care.

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 show that continuous glucose monitors help people with type 2 diabetes not on insulin better manage their blood sugar levels in a primary care setting.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, 26-week study, so long-term benefits or risks are not yet known. The device may not lead to meaningful improvements for all participants.
