Can a smart monitor help control diabetes? new study tests CGM in community clinics
NCT ID NCT07097415
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) helps adults with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar better than traditional finger-prick testing. About 600 participants from two community health centers in China wore a CGM device for three 2-week periods over 24 weeks. The main goal was to see if their HbA1c levels improved. The study also looked at how easy or hard it is to use CGM in everyday community care.
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 successful, this could show that CGM helps people with type 2 diabetes better manage their blood sugar and improve quality of life in community settings.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed pragmatic trial with 599 participants, but results may not apply to all populations. CGM devices can be costly and require training, and the study does not test a cure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older. ②A diagnosis of type 2 diabetes recorded in the electronic medical record for at least 1 year before screening. * A stable glucose-lowering treatment regimen, defined as no change in medication class during the 3 months before screening. * Residence in Yinzhou District and enrolment in the district resident health-record system. * Ability to provide written informed consent. ⑥For enrolment into the CGM-assisted management group, ability to operate the CGM mobile application independently or with assistance from a caregiver. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy. * Type 1 diabetes, latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, or secondary diabetes. * Current or previous use of glucose-affecting agents other than prescribed glucose-lowering medication, including systemic glucocorticoids. * Estimated glomerular filtration rate below 60 mL/min/1·73 m². ⑤Alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase greater than three times the upper limit of normal. * Active malignancy. ⑦Inability to provide informed consent.
