What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether using a Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) instead of standard fingerstick blood sugar checks leads to better blood sugar control and fewer dangerous lows in hospitalized adults with type 1 diabetes. One hundred participants will be randomly assigned to either the CGM or fingerstick group during their hospital stay and after discharge. The goal is to see if the CGM helps keep blood sugar in a safer range.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that continuous glucose monitoring improves blood sugar control and reduces dangerous lows during hospital stays for people with type 1 diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (100 participants) comparing a device to standard care, so results may not apply broadly. The device itself has known accuracy limitations and skin irritation risks.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 100 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

May 2025

Expected to finish

Oct 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Known history of T1D treated with insulin therapy (human regular or rapid-acting analogs or ultra-rapid analogs \[lispro, aspart, glulisine, fast-acting insulin aspart, insulin lispro\]), intermediate-acting (NPH and premixed formulations) or long-acting basal (glargine, detemir, degludec) formulations. * Admission diagnosis of T1D with poorly controlled diabetes (blood glucose \> 180 mg/dl, HbA1c \> 7%), including diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS). * Expected length of hospital stay \> three days at the time of randomization Exclusion Criteria: * Patients admitted to the ICU * Subjects using CGM technology before admission * Subjects with type 2 diabetes * Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive agents * Cystic fibrosis * Prisoners * Patients expected to require MRI procedures during hospitalization. * Female subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding at enrollment into the study. * Subjects not willing to wear a CGM device * Subjects with clinically relevant hepatic disease (diagnosed liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension) and end-stage kidney disease (eGFR\< 30 ml/min), or terminal illness. * Subjects with a history of cognitive impairment, dementia, or mental condition rendering the subject unable to understand the nature and consequences of the study
