First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study aimed to see if using a professional continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for 6 months, instead of 3 months, helps people with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (who don't use insulin) spend more time with healthy blood sugar levels. Only 12 participants were enrolled before the study was stopped early. The CGM was worn for 3 days at a time and recorded sugar levels without showing them to the patient.
