Your smartwatch could predict blood sugar crashes before they happen

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study will test whether combining continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data with information from a smartwatch and a phone app (like meals and activity) can better predict blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Thirty-six adults will wear a CGM and smartwatch and log their meals and exercise for several weeks. The goal is to build a model that gives real-time glucose predictions, but this study only collects data—it does not provide any treatment or recommendations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a smartphone app that predicts blood sugar changes in real time, helping people with type 2 diabetes manage their condition more easily.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (36 people) that only collects data—it does not test a treatment. The model may not work well for everyone, and results may not apply to people outside this specific clinic.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Participants will be selected from the Johns Hopkins Medicine adult clinical population. The study population will include adults with type 2 diabetes who receive diabetes care through Johns Hopkins Medicine, including primary care and endocrinology clinics. Participants will be recruited from patients whose routine diabetes care includes use of continuous glucose monitoring and who may be eligible to contribute glucose, wearable, app-based behavioral, and electronic medical record data for development and validation of glucose prediction models.
