New sensor could replace Finger-Stick ketone tests for diabetes patients
NCT ID NCT06420518
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) system in 16 adults with type 1 diabetes who use insulin pumps. Participants wore the CKM sensor for 14 days and followed special diets with a short insulin stop to see if the device accurately measures ketones compared to standard finger-stick tests. The goal is to make ketone monitoring easier and more continuous for people with diabetes.

Who is studied
The population of this study are individuals with a type 1 diabetes diagnosis exceeding 1 year, using insulin pump therapy for more than one month. Participant recruitment for the study will predominantly occur through the Hygea Medical Clinic, complemented by outreach to previous study participants who have consented to future contact for research opportunities.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults ≥ 18 years of age. 2. A clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) for at least one year, as per their treating diabetes physician in agreement with the primary investigator's clinical judgment (confirmatory C-peptide and antibodies will not be required). 3. On stable, commercial closed-loop pump therapy for the past 30 days. 4. Stable use of continuous glucose monitor system for the past 30 days. 5. Cellular phone with Android OS operating system 8.1 and above or iOS11 and above operating system, for data compatibility with continuous ketone monitor mobile app (SiCKM app). 6. Able to perform study related tasks. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Current or ≤ 2 weeks use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor medication (e.g. empagliflozin). 2. Current use of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) as it may impair accuracy of the sensor. 3. Severe hypoglycemic episode within one month of admission, defined as an event where glucose was \<4 mmol/L resulting in seizure, loss of consciousness, needing third party assistance, or need to present to the emergency department. 4. Diabetic ketoacidosis episode requiring medical attention or intravenous insulin within one month. 5. Planned or ongoing pregnancy or breastfeeding individuals. 6. Any serious medical or psychiatric illness likely to interfere with ability to complete the trial, as per judgement of investigators.
