Can a simple monitor improve diabetes care after hospital discharge?
NCT ID NCT06852950
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) after hospital discharge helps people with diabetes feel more in control and satisfied with their care. About 60 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who need insulin will use a CGM at home and answer questionnaires. The goal is to see if this technology improves their experience and blood sugar management during the transition from hospital to home.
