First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท 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.
