New study tracks blood sugar like a vital sign to keep hospitalized diabetes patients safer
NCT ID NCT03068273
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using wireless continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in the hospital can help manage blood sugar levels for people with type 1 or high-risk type 2 diabetes. 157 patients wore the monitors, which sent real-time glucose readings to a care team that could adjust treatment as needed. The goal was to keep blood sugar in a safe range and reduce dangerous highs and lows during the hospital stay.
