Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Diabetes
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores the accuracy and safety of the Eversense Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems for people with diabetes. It compares these devices to standard glucose measurements to evaluate their effectiveness. The trial includes adults with any type of diabetes and teenagers with Type 1 diabetes. Ideal candidates have lived with diabetes for over a year and are interested in trying new technology to manage their condition. As an unphased trial, this study offers participants a unique opportunity to contribute to the advancement of diabetes management technology.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on immunosuppressant therapy, chemotherapy, anticoagulant/antithrombotic therapy (except aspirin), or antibiotics for chronic infection, you may not be eligible to participate.
What prior data suggests that these continuous glucose monitoring systems are safe for use in people with diabetes?
Research has shown that the Eversense Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is generally safe for users. In a large study with 3,023 participants, the system proved safe for everyday use. Another study confirmed that the Eversense system is not only safe but also reliable for long-term use, lasting up to six months. Users reported few problems, and the system demonstrated high accuracy. Overall, these studies suggest that most people can use the Eversense CGM without issues.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Unlike traditional fingerstick glucose monitoring, the Eversense CGM System offers continuous glucose monitoring for people with diabetes, providing real-time data and alerts without the need for frequent manual testing. This system is unique because it includes an implanted sensor that can last for months, reducing the need for frequent sensor replacements common with other CGM systems. Researchers are excited about this technology as it aims to provide more consistent and accurate glucose readings, potentially improving diabetes management and quality of life for users.
What evidence suggests that the Eversense CGM System is effective for diabetes?
Studies have shown that the Eversense CGM System, which participants in this trial may use, effectively manages diabetes. It lowers HbA1c levels, a measure of long-term blood sugar control, by about 0.2% to 0.45%. The system is accurate and safe, with a low chance of sensor failure. Real-world data confirms that users achieve excellent blood sugar management. Additionally, it is safe and accurate for both adults and teens with Type 1 diabetes, making it a reliable choice for continuous glucose monitoring.26789
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults and adolescents with diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2) can join this trial. Adults must have had diabetes for at least a year, while teens aged 14-17 need a confirmed diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes for the same duration. Participants must consent to follow study rules. Those with certain health issues, drug abuse history, severe hypoglycemia, specific infections like hepatitis or HIV, allergies to anesthetics or glucocorticoids, recent heart problems, uncontrolled hypertension, or who are pregnant cannot join.Inclusion Criteria
