New study checks if sugar sensors work in sick newborns
NCT ID NCT06363929
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how accurate Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitors are for newborns with hyperinsulinism, a condition causing low blood sugar. One baby wore the sensor on their thigh for 10 days in the NICU. Researchers compared the sensor's readings with standard blood sugar checks to see if the device could reliably detect low sugar levels.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age: 0-90 days old * Gestational Age: \> 28 weeks gestational age * Diagnosis of hyperinsulinism based on critical sample and/or glucagon challenge Exclusion Criteria: * Diffuse skin disease such that placement of a Dexcom G6 sensor would be difficult to secure * Infants colonized or infected with multi-drug resistant organisms (i.e. MRSA, VRE, ESBL producing bacteria) * Infants on hypothermic protocols * Infants expected to remain in the NICU \<24 hours * Infants enrolled in a competing clinical trial * Family/team have decided to limit or redirect from aggressive NICU technological support * Ward of the state
