RT-CGM in Young Adults at Risk of DKA
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, Glucose Metabolism Disorders, Metabolic Disease, Autoimmune Diseases, Endocrine System Diseases
In brief
Pilot study to evaluate the effect of real time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) on young-adults with insulin-treated diabetes, who are defined as high risk due to suboptimal HbA1c (blood glucose control) or a history of hospital admissions for high blood glucoses. Hypothesis: RT-CGM provided to young adults with suboptimal blood glucose control, has a beneficial impact on HbA1c and hospital admissions for high blood glucoses. We will use data from this pilot work to inform a larger powered study to address this knowledge gap.
