First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a fast point-of-care device to measure blood sugar control (HbA1c) and kidney function (cystatin C) during a clinic visit can improve long-term health in people with diabetes. Researchers will track changes in kidney function over time in 222 adults. The goal is to see if immediate results help doctors make better treatment decisions.
