Can a smart monitor improve blood sugar control for dialysis patients?
NCT ID NCT06641765
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) helps dialysis patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar better than standard finger-prick tests. 96 participants will be split into three groups: standard care, intermittent CGM use, or continuous CGM use for 9 months. The goal is to see if CGM increases the time blood sugar stays in a healthy range.
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 (Dexcom G7)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that CGM helps dialysis patients better manage their blood sugar and reduce complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage study (96 participants) and may not prove long-term benefits. The device may not be accurate or practical for all dialysis patients.
