Prick or stick? new study tests home blood tests for diabetes care

NCT ID NCT06695325

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether people with diabetes can collect their own blood at home (using a finger prick or a device on the upper arm) to check blood sugar, cholesterol, and thyroid levels. The results will be compared to standard blood draws done by a nurse in the clinic. The goal is to see if home collection is accurate, easy for patients, and cost-effective, potentially reducing the need for clinic visits.
