Wireless glucose sensors could transform ICU care — but can they deliver?

This study tests whether continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) like the Dexcom G7 can be safely and effectively used in intensive care units. The monitors provide real-time blood sugar readings and alarms for dangerously high or low levels, potentially reducing the need for frequent finger-prick tests. Researchers will track how many eligible patients agree to participate, how quickly monitoring starts, and how often the devices fail or cause issues. The goal is to see if this technology is practical for routine ICU use, not to measure its impact on patient outcomes.
