Phase N/A
**A Study Comparing Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Point of Care Glucose Testing for Managing Type 1 Diabetes** This study looks at two ways to check blood sugar in people with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) during hospital stays. The two methods are **Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)** and **Point of Care (POC) Glucose Testing**. CGM is a device that continuously checks blood sugar levels, while POC is a standard finger-prick test. Researchers want to see if CGM can better manage blood sugar and prevent low sugar events (hypoglycemia) compared to the usual POC testing. **Key Points:** - **Length of Study:** Participants will be involved for their entire hospital stay, which must be over 3 days. - **Treatment Provided:** Participants will use either CGM or POC testing during their stay to guide insulin therapy. - **Eligibility:** You must have T1D, use insulin, and have poorly controlled blood sugar. You cannot join if you've used CGM before or if you have other specific medical conditions. The study is important because it may help improve how hospitals manage T1D and reduce complications for patients.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
