NCT ID NCT06965803
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program that gives people with diabetes a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) when they leave the hospital. The goal is to see if it makes patients more satisfied and improves their quality of life. About 37 adults with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who use insulin will take surveys before and after using the device.
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 monitor (CGM) discharge program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could improve how satisfied and comfortable patients feel with glucose monitoring after leaving the hospital.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 37 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures satisfaction, not blood sugar control or long-term health.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * aged 18 or older * diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes who are on insulin * able to speak and understand English language * scheduled to receive a standard inpatient diabetes education consultation * must not have used CGM in the six months prior to admission * owns a smartphone * demonstrates the ability to follow instructions and be capable of providing informed consent to participate in the program Exclusion Criteria: * those who are known to be pregnant. This is due to complexity of pregnancy-related changes in glucose metabolism and increased skin sensitivity, or changes in skin condition to adhesives and materials used in CGM devices. * non-English speakers. As this is small study to evaluate which method is favorable using a survey only validated in English, enrolling non-English speakers would require additional resources/translations/personnel for evaluation and the education intervention that are not logistically possible right now.
