Real-Time glucose data may boost healthy habits in prediabetes
NCT ID NCT07423065
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether people with prediabetes and obesity change their eating and activity habits when they can see their glucose levels in real time versus when the data is hidden. Thirty-four adults will wear a continuous glucose monitor during both an open and a blinded phase. Researchers will compare glucose variability, calorie intake, and weight changes to see if real-time feedback leads to better health outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that real-time glucose feedback helps people with prediabetes make healthier choices and lose weight.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The crossover design may also make it harder to see clear effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18-70 years. * BMI ≥ 27 kg/m² (overweight or obese). * Prediabetes, confirmed by: Impaired fasting glucose (IFG: 5.6-6.9 mmol/L), and/or Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT: 2-hour OGTT glucose 7.8-11.0 mmol/L). * Stable body weight (±3 kg) in the last 3 months. * No current use of antidiabetic or weight-loss medications. * Willingness and ability to wear a CGM device as instructed. * Capacity to provide written informed consent. * Recruitment from the Diabetes Outpatient Clinic, Community Health Center Koper (identified and invited from the clinic's database). Exclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus (fasting glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L or HbA1c ≥ 6.5%). * Current or recent (within 3 months) use of: * Any antidiabetic medication (insulin, metformin, GLP-1RA, SGLT2i, etc.), or anti-obesity pharmacotherapy. * Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planned pregnancy during the study period. * Severe chronic disease that could influence glucose metabolism or study participation (e.g., chronic liver disease, renal failure, active malignancy). * Endocrine disorders affecting metabolism (e.g., untreated thyroid disease, Cushing's syndrome). * Severe psychiatric illness or cognitive impairment limiting adherence or comprehension. * Use of medications known to affect glucose metabolism (e.g., corticosteroids, atypical antipsychotics). * Implanted electronic medical devices (e.g., pacemaker, defibrillator) that may interfere with CGM function. * Known allergy or skin reaction to CGM adhesives or device materials. * Participation in another interventional study within the previous 3 months.
