First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether using a Freestyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor for 28 days, along with standard therapeutic education, helps people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes improve their blood sugar control. The trial enrolled 27 adults diagnosed within the past year. The main goal was to see if the monitor led to better HbA1c levels after 3 months compared to education alone.

Active substance

Freestyle Libre 2 (continuous glucose monitor)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that using a continuous glucose monitor alongside standard education helps people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes better manage their blood sugar.

What could go wrong

This was a small, early study (27 participants) that was terminated, so results may be limited. The device only measures glucose and does not treat the disease directly.
