NCT ID NCT07422831
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using an over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor (CGM) every 30 or 90 days can help people with type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin better manage their blood sugar. About 188 participants will wear the Dexcom Stelo device periodically over six months. Researchers will compare changes in A1C and time in range to usual care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dexcom Stelo continuous glucose monitor (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that periodic use of over-the-counter CGM helps people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar without needing insulin, potentially making glucose monitoring more accessible.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (188 participants) focused on feasibility and short-term outcomes. The device is not a treatment, and results may not apply to all people with type 2 diabetes.
