Can a tiny implant track glucose, ketones, and lactate in diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07745998
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing a new implantable sensor called the HALO System in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The sensor is designed to continuously measure glucose, ketones, and lactate in the fluid just beneath the skin, which could give a more complete picture of metabolic health than glucose alone. The study will check how accurate and stable the sensor readings are over three months, and whether the implantation procedure is safe. If it works, this technology might one day help people with diabetes better manage their condition and avoid dangerous highs and lows.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- The HALO System, an implantable continuous multi-metabolite monitoring sensor that measures glucose, ketones, and lactate in interstitial fluid.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more comprehensive, implantable monitoring device for diabetes, potentially reducing complications from glucose swings.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study with only 12 participants, so results may not generalize. Risks include implantation procedure complications and device-related adverse events.
