Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Gastroparesis in Diabetes
Trial Summary
Yes, you may need to stop certain medications. If you're on opiates, GLP-1 agonists, or motility medications, you must stop them before joining the trial. Specifically, you need to wait 2 weeks after your last dose of GLP-1 agonists and 1 week after your last dose of motility medications before enrolling.
The available research shows that the FreeStyle Libre system, a type of continuous glucose monitoring, is effective for diabetes management. It provides continuous glucose readings without the need for frequent finger pricks, which can improve the quality of life for patients. Although the studies focus on diabetes in general, they highlight the system's accuracy and convenience, which can be beneficial for managing conditions like gastroparesis in diabetes. However, there is no specific data in the provided research directly linking it to gastroparesis treatment.
12345The safety data for the FreeStyle Libre glucose monitoring system includes reports of allergic contact dermatitis caused by isobornyl acrylate in the sensor. Additionally, there is a study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a similar continuous glucose monitoring system, the FreeStyle Navigator, for home use by adults with diabetes. These studies suggest that while the system is generally safe, there may be skin-related side effects for some users.
12367Continuous glucose monitoring, like the FreeStyle Libre system, is a promising treatment for managing diabetes. It helps track glucose levels continuously, which can improve blood sugar control and quality of life for people with diabetes.
