Measuring Sweat Glucose of Patients With Diabetes - The ENGAGE Study

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus

In brief

This pilot clinical trial will explore the accuracy and acceptability of a non-invasive, wearable glucose sensor in patients living with DM. This study will compare needleless glucose sensor readings from sweat with glucometer measurements from patients with any type of diabetes at fasting, and after a meal.
