Sticky solution: can a simple patch help people with diabetes keep their glucose sensors on longer?
NCT ID NCT07018180
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special adhesive patch (COVER PATCH) can help keep continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) stuck to the skin for their full recommended wear time. About 194 people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, aged 6 and older, will either use the patch or not for 4 months. The goal is to see if better adhesion leads to improved blood sugar control and fewer early sensor replacements.
