Management of Inpatient Hyperglycemia by Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Insulin-treated Patients With Diabetes: Dexcom G6 Intervention Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Dexcom G6 CGM - Continues Glucose Monitoring sensor system and POC BG - Point-of-Care Blood Glucose monitoring for Diabetes Mellitus. Completed, enrolled 185 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The study will assess if Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) represents a better tool to guide healthcare providers in adjusting insulin therapy, by providing a more complete 24-hour assessment of glucose values compared to Point of Care (POC) testing, during hospitalization and after hospital discharge in general medicine and surgery patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
A blinded factory-calibrated continues glucose monitoring sensor system Dexcom G6 will be placed shortly after admission. Two CGM devices will be inserted in all patients - one in the abdomen and one in the arm to also assess differences in blood glucose readings between upper extremity and abdominal insertion sites. Information on CGM readings will be collected daily during the hospital stay up to 10 days using the Dexcom Studio software to download the Dexcom receiver data.
Standard of care - bedside point-of-care (POC) capillary blood glucose (BG) monitoring will be done before meals and bedtime daily during the hospital stay up to 10 days.
