Oral Anti Diabetic Agents in the Hospital

Testing diabetes pills' effectiveness during hospital stays.

Recruiting
18-80 years
All
Phase 4

This study looks at diabetes treatment in hospitals. Diabetes is when the body can't control sugar (glucose) levels. Usually, hospitals use insulin shots to control sugar, but they are expensive and need many shots. Instead, this study checks if taking regular diabetes pills (oral antidiabetic agents, or OADs) is just as safe and works as well as insulin. The main goal is to see if these pills help keep blood sugar at a good level without problems.

To join, you should be:

  • Aged 18-80, with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and taking diabetes pills.
  • Have a blood sugar level less than 250 mg/dL.
  • Not taking insulin shots already.

This study will monitor a small group with a special device to check their blood sugar closely. This study is important to find out if diabetes pills can help people in the hospital just as well as insulin.

Key points:

  • This study will take place during your hospital stay.
  • Some participants will wear a special device to monitor blood sugar.
  • No extra cost for participating; potential benefit of simpler diabetes management.
