Can a wearable sensor accurately track blood sugar in the ICU?
NCT ID NCT07201155
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) works in critically ill patients with high blood sugar. Researchers placed a small sensor on the skin of 55 ICU patients to measure glucose every 5 minutes for up to 7 days. They compared these readings to standard blood tests to see if the device is accurate enough for ICU use.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria included 1. Age ≥18 years and ≤75 years; 2. Expected ICU stay of at least 3 days; 3. Elevated blood glucose (BG \>180 mg/dL) requiring intravenous insulin therapy; 4. Informed consent obtained from the patient or their legally authorized representative. Exclusion criteria included 1. Severe hepatic failure (Child-Pugh class C) or marked liver dysfunction (total bilirubin ≥50 μmol/L and alanine aminotransferase ≥3 times the upper limit of normal); 2. Uncorrected diabetic ketoacidosis; ability to self-feed; planned magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination; 3. Pregnancy or breastfeeding; 4. Extensive skin burns, dermatitis, or severe infections precluding the use of a continuous glucose monitoring system; 5. Severe brain injury, brain death, or moribund state; 6. Deemed unsuitable for study participation by the investigator.
