New Cloud-Based system could transform diabetes care in hospitals
NCT ID NCT05307237
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that sends real-time blood sugar data to a cloud-based dashboard, allowing a remote team to manage high-risk type 2 diabetes patients in the hospital. Over 500 participants were assigned to either the active CGM system or usual care with blinded monitoring. The goal was to improve time in safe blood sugar range and reduce hospital infections.

- Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitor (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better blood sugar management and fewer infections for hospitalized diabetes patients, especially those with limited access to care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed study, but results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups. The device requires proper training and may have technical issues or skin reactions.
