Filter by:The overarching goal of this study is to decrease disparities and increase access to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for patients with diabetes, regardless of where people receive their diabetes care. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of three implementation strategies for CGM in primary care practices in an efficient, sustainable, and scalable fashion. The investigators will also perform economic analysis of the implementation strategies. This 3-year study will compare practices that implement CGM with (a) an evidence-based educational module only, (b) an educational module plus practice facilitation support, or (c) a virtual CGM initiation clinic for patients. There will be up to 30 practices in each group for a possible total of 90 primary care practices. The investigators expect to enroll up to 500 patient participants across these 90 practices and to compare outcomes among patients from each study arm. This comparison will help investigators to understand the different implementation strategies and their ability to help primary care practice adopt, implement, and maintain CGM for their patients. The information the investigators collect will also help to understand how patients in these primary care practices experience initiation and use of CGM. The results will help to develop strategies and tools to train more primary care practices to offer CGM more widely to patients for whom it is recommended, especially for those where access to specialty care is limited.
Researchers are looking for a better way to help Chinese people who have diabetes to monitor their blood sugar (blood glucose) situation. There are 2 types of diabetes. In people with type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system attacks and destroys cells in the pancreas that produce a hormone called insulin. In people with type 2 diabetes, the body does not make enough insulin or does not use insulin well. This results in high blood glucose levels. Over time, high blood glucose levels can cause damage to certain parts of the body. These include the eyes, the kidneys, the nerves, and the heart. There are tests and devices available for doctors and patients to measure blood glucose levels. Repeated measurements of blood glucose levels are needed to see whether the treatments that prevent blood glucose levels from becoming too high work well and to notice when the blood glucose is decreasing too much. Such tracking of the blood glucose is also called blood glucose monitoring. Blood glucose monitoring tests and devices can however be difficult to use, and one test or device may not work for all patients. Researchers think that better monitoring systems would help patients improve the control of their blood glucose levels. This could help stop their diabetes from getting worse. In this study, the researchers want to learn more about how well a new monitoring system called CGM works in Chinese patients with diabetes. CGM is a continuous glucose monitoring system. It regularly measures the level of glucose in the tissue throughout the day and night. CGM is made up of a small sensor that patients apply in the belly region where it is placed just under the skin, into the so-called subcutaneous tissue. The sensor measures the level of glucose in the fluid that surrounds cells in the subcutaneous tissue. It also has a transmitter which attaches to the sensor and sends via Bluetooth the results to a device, which can instantly display the glucose level. The glucose levels can then be used to adjust the treatment. The main purpose of this study is to learn how well CGM monitors glucose levels in Chinese patients when used in usual practice. To answer this question, the researchers will compare the glucose levels collected with the CGM monitor to the blood glucose levels collected with another type of monitoring called "venous blood glucose testing". This is where a blood sample is taken from the veins, and then the level of glucose in the blood sample is measured. The study will include adult Chinese patients who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and who the study doctors think need to monitor their diabetes using CGM and venous blood glucose testing. There will be no treatments given as part of this study. The device will be worn up to a maximum of 14 days. The patients will get training on how to use the CGM monitor and will attach it to their belly on Day 1 of the study. The researchers will then collect the information about their glucose levels. The study doctors will also take blood samples and measure blood glucose levels using venous blood glucose testing. They will compare the glucose levels recorded from the blood samples to the glucose levels recorded by CGM at the closest time points. After wearing CGM for 14 days, the study doctors will remove it from the patients' bellies. About 3 days later, the researchers will call the patients to check if they have any swelling or areas of rash where CGM was worn. The patients may also take photos of the area and send these to the study doctors. During the study, the study staff will: - take blood samples as part of the usual care - compare glucose levels recorded by CGM to the levels recorded from the venous blood glucose tests - check the skin for any swelling or areas of rash where CGM was worn - record any instances of CGM errors or alarms for when glucose levels are too high or too low - check the patients' overall health - ask the patients about how they are feeling and what medical problems they are having.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuous glucose monitoring will improve glucose variability as measured by the coefficient of variation of glucose levels in very young children with T1D. The study adopts an open-label, multi-centre, multinational, prospective registry-based population cohort design contrasting CGM use to SMBG alone in young children with type 1 diabetes over 12 months. The primary endpoint is the difference between treatment modalities (CGM vs SMBG alone) in glycaemic variability, measured as the coefficient of variation of glucose levels, during the 12 months observational period. Other Key edpoints include time in range 70-180 mg/dl, time below range 70 mg/dl and time above range 180 mg/dl.
Prospective observational cohort study. Elderly patients >65 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on insulin therapy and HbA1c between 7% and 9%, with or without oral agents, will be identified from medical records and invited to participate. Patients will wear a FreeStyle Libre Flash CGM during a 6-week study period. Using CGM technology, we will assess an efficacy outcome : time in range (TIR) between 70-180 mg/dl and a safety outcome: incidence of hypoglycemia (time below range (TBR) less than 70, 54, and 40 mg/dl in insulin treated older adults with T2DM. Patients will return to clinic every 2 weeks for new continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) placement, assessment of glycemic control and hypoglycemia, adherence to therapy and CGM use. CGM data will be downloaded every 2 weeks.

The state of a coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) was declared by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. Hospitalized patients receiving intravenous (IV) insulin therapy have been identified in the hospital setting as a group that places health care workers at high risk of contamination. Indeed, the many capillary blood glucose measurements required to adjust the IV insulin doses involve direct contact with the patient. It is generally recommended to measure blood sugar every 1 to 2 hours with an IV insulin infusion. Ensuring a working method allowing optimal monitoring of patients' blood sugar levels while limiting the risk of contamination of health professionals is therefore to be preferred. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems are minimally invasive devices that allow you to get a blood glucose measurement every 5 to 15 minutes, and some devices allow you to access your blood sugar profile without having to be in contact with the patients. These devices are approved, validated, and widely used in diabetic ambulatory populations. The principle is based on a measurement of glucose in the interstitial fluid under the skin. DEXCOM G6 is the only device currently approved in Canada that does not require calibration using a capillary blood glucose level or contact with the patient for remote data transmission. A sensor installed on the skin makes it possible to measure blood sugar from the interstitial fluid. A transmitter installed on the sensor sends the data to a receiver which can be remote from the patient (up to 6 meters). Its use in an acute care setting, however, is not approved in Canada. However, Health Canada issued an emergency order on April 25, 2020 allowing the use of Dexcom G6 in hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CGM offers several potential advantages compared to the capillary glycemia currently used to ensure the follow-up of insulin-treated patients thanks to the real-time measurement of the glycemia and their transmission at a distance. In intensive care the SGC has the potential: - For staff to limit contact with patients infected with COVID-19 (reduction in the use of personal protective equipment and contamination) while ensuring close monitoring of blood glucose levels for the adjustment of insulin therapy. - For patients to reduce the discomfort related to multiple capillary blood sugar levels and possibly better detection of hypoglycaemia This study is the first step in a 2-phase research program, the ultimate goal of which is to use a CGM to replace capillary blood glucose in hospitals to adjust intravenous (IV) insulin therapy. The objective of the first study presented in this protocol is to validate the use of a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM) for glycemic monitoring in patients hospitalized in intensive care.
This study evaluates the difference in post prandial tissue glucose levels between two variation of Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass by continuous glucose monitoring.
The aim is to investigate the correlation between mean glucose measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and mean glucose estimated from glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in persons with type 2 diabetes undergoing peritoneal dialysis compared with patients with type 2 diabetes and normal renal function. Furthermore, the aim is to compare CGM and HbA1c with glycated albumin and fructosamine.
In Korea, 5 million adults aged 30 years or older have diabetes. The development and expansion of Korea's economy and society, has led to dramatic chances in people's lifestyle and diet habits, and an increase in life expectancy. However, changes in lifestyle and diet habits related to the improvements of socioeconomic status may contribute to an increased diabetes burden in Korea. Therefore, it is important to prevent diabetes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of real time-continuous glucose measurement (RT-CGM) system compared to only lifestyle modification group on blood glucose, lipid profile and diabetes prevention in prediabetic adults with overweight or obesity.
