Summary
This trial will test whether or not systematic continuous glucose monitoring is an effective treatment option for patients with diabetes who are receiving care in a hospital setting.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with diabetes who are hospitalized and expected to stay at least two more days. Participants must be willing to wear a CGM device and not use high doses of acetaminophen. It's not for pregnant or lactating women, those planning surgery within 48 hours, patients with certain skin conditions or allergies, active substance abusers, organ transplant recipients, or those with severe medical conditions.
What is being tested?
The study tests the Dexcom Gen6 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device in hospitalized diabetic patients outside the ICU. The goal is to see if this newer CGM technology can improve blood sugar control and reduce hypoglycemic events compared to older devices.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include skin irritation or allergic reactions where the CGM device attaches due to adhesive or disinfectants used on the skin.

Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Treatment GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Treatment Group subjects will wear the CGM device during their hospitalization, up to 10 days, and glucose readings WILL be continuously monitored. Treatment Group subjects will have their glucose management guided by readings from the CGM device and standard of care finger sticks.
Group II: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Control Group subjects will wear the CGM device during their hospitalization, up to 10 days, but glucose readings will NOT be continuously monitored. Control Group subjects will have their glucose management guided by routine standard of care finger sticks. The readings from the CGM device are recorded and reviewed retrospectively, but not used for glucose management during the hospital stay.
