First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a continuous glucose monitor (Dexcom G6) helps pilots with insulin-treated diabetes keep their blood sugar in a safe range during flights. Seventeen pilots wore the device for six months, comparing its readings with their usual finger-stick tests. The goal is to see if real-time monitoring improves safety and glucose control while flying.
