NCT ID NCT06038669
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a home collection kit for people with diabetes to measure their HbA1c, a key blood sugar marker. 63 adults with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes will use the kit and mail a dried blood spot to the lab. The goal is to see if the kit is accurate and easy to use, which could help more people get tested on time.
