Painless glucose check? new device could end finger pricks
NCT ID NCT07088497
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new device called the Cmate blood glucose analyzer, which measures blood sugar without needing a finger prick. Researchers compared its readings to standard blood tests in 40 healthy, pre-diabetic, and diabetic adults. The goal is to see if this non-invasive method is accurate enough for home use, potentially making blood sugar monitoring less painful and more convenient.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- non-invasive blood glucose measurement system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a painless, needle-free way to monitor blood glucose, making regular checks easier for people with diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants. The device is not yet FDA-approved and may not be as accurate as traditional methods.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Individuals willing to sign an informed consent form. 2. Adults aged 18 to 80 years. 3. Individuals with a past medical history diagnosed by a physician as meeting the following criteria, totaling 45 participants: A. Healthy participants (15 individuals): fasting blood glucose \<100 mg/dL, HbA1c \<5.7%. B. Pre-diabetic participants (15 individuals): fasting blood glucose ≤100 mg/dL and \<126 mg/dL, HbA1c ≤5.7% and \<6.5%. C. Patients with type 2 diabetes (15 individuals): fasting blood glucose ≥126 mg/dL, HbA1c ≥6.5%, and no insulin injection. 4. The proportion of males and females in each group is \>30%. 5. Meets the signal acceptance criteria of the Cmate blood glucose analyzer. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Individuals who refuse to sign the informed consent form. 2. Adults who lack legal capacity. 3. Individuals under the age of 18 or over the age of 80. 4. Individuals with a history of major cardiac conditions such as stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, coronary artery bypass surgery, stent placement, or pacemaker implantation. 5. Individuals with controlled heart disease who, during the screening visit, were found to have signal characteristics that cannot be used when screened with the Cmate blood glucose analyzer. 6. Type 1 diabetes patients. 7. Individuals with a history of gestational diabetes. 8. Pregnant women. 9. Individuals with fasting blood glucose levels below 70 mg/dL or above 200 mg/dL within the past three months. 10. Individuals whose signal characteristics do not meet the acceptance criteria of the Cmate blood glucose analyzer. 11. Individuals deemed ineligible for inclusion by the study principal investigator.
