Smart pens and sensors could transform diabetes care after hospital stay
NCT ID NCT07061301
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving people with type 2 diabetes a continuous glucose monitor and a smart insulin pen cap (Insulclock) at hospital discharge helps them stick to their insulin schedule and control blood sugar better than standard finger-prick checks. About 80 adults aged 18-70 who are starting insulin in the hospital will be followed for 12 weeks after discharge. The goal is to see if technology reduces missed doses and improves time in target blood sugar range.
