Can smartphone apps and continuous glucose monitors help tame type 2 diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07642830
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) along with a mobile app can help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar better than standard care. Sixty adults will be randomly assigned to either the digital tool group or usual care, and their HbA1c and time in range will be measured after 12 weeks. The goal is to see if these technologies improve glucose management and patient satisfaction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) device and mobile app
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that digital tools help people with type 2 diabetes better manage their blood sugar levels.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is observational, so it cannot prove cause and effect.
