Study to Determine the Efficacy of Real-time CGM in Preventing Hypoglycemia Among Insulin-treated Patients With DM2 on Hemodialysis, Compared to Standard of Care (POC BG)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Dexcom Real-time G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGM) and POC Glucose Testing for End-Stage Renal Disease and Type 2 Diabetes. Completed, enrolled 53 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The study is conducted to assess the efficacy of real-time CGM data in preventing hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), treated with insulin therapy and receiving hemodialysis.

Timeline
Interventions
Dexcom G6, a factory-calibrated CGM system, is innovative in many aspects: 1) it does not require finger stick POC BG for calibration, 2) the sensor is small, compact, light-weight, 3) has no interference with several substance and drugs, and 4) protective "urgent low soon" alarm, with proven prediction of hypoglycemia within 20 minutes in advance. Dexcom G6 monitors glucose continuously (24 hrs) and displays real-time glucose values, glucose trends/arrows and alarms, including the "urgent low soon" alarm (predictive of hypoglycemia \< 55 mg/dL within the preceding 20 minutes). Diagnostic Test: Real-time CGM will be used to collect outcomes variables
POC BG (standard of care) uses commercially-available glucose meters for blood glucose monitoring. It is approved to be used in dialysis populations. Diagnostic Test: Professional CGM will be used to collect outcomes variables (including during the POC BG testing).
