New tech tool helps seniors with diabetes avoid dangerous lows
NCT ID NCT03078491
First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) combined with a diabetes management platform (DMP) can help older adults (65+) with type 1 diabetes reduce low blood sugar episodes. The DMP automatically sends glucose and insulin data to a system that gives dose adjustment tips to the healthcare team, and also offers on-demand education for patients and caregivers. 168 participants used either the enhanced CGM or standard care, and researchers measured changes in time spent with low blood sugar.
