Can wearable sensors unlock better blood sugar control after kidney transplants?
NCT ID NCT06675903
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to track blood sugar levels in the days right after a kidney transplant. It compares three groups of recipients: those with diabetes, those with pre-diabetes, and those without diabetes. The goal is to see if glucose patterns differ between these groups, which could help tailor post-transplant 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)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could improve how blood sugar is managed after kidney transplantation, potentially leading to better outcomes and fewer complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study, so results may not apply to all transplant patients. It does not test a treatment, so it cannot directly change care.
