Eversense CGM for Diabetes
(NA-PAS Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the Eversense CGM System to evaluate its effectiveness in helping people manage diabetes compared to the usual self-monitoring with a blood glucose meter. Participants will first track their blood sugar with traditional meters for 6 months, then switch to the Eversense system for the next 6 months. This study targets individuals with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who have a smartphone and have not used a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for more than a week in the past 6 months. The goal is to determine if the Eversense system can improve blood sugar management over traditional methods. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to explore new ways to manage diabetes effectively.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on comparing two methods of monitoring blood sugar, so you may not need to change your medications, but it's best to confirm with the trial organizers.
What prior data suggests that the Eversense CGM System is safe for diabetes management?
Research has shown that the Eversense CGM System is safe for people with diabetes. In a large real-world study with over 3,000 participants, most did not experience serious issues while using the system. Another study found that the system not only ensures safety but also provides accurate blood sugar readings, crucial for effective diabetes management. These findings suggest that the Eversense CGM System is user-friendly and a reliable choice for continuous glucose monitoring.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
The Eversense CGM System is unique because it offers continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for diabetes management, unlike traditional self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) methods that require finger pricks multiple times a day. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it provides real-time glucose readings and trends, allowing for more precise and timely adjustments to therapy. Additionally, Eversense is implanted under the skin and can last for months, reducing the need for frequent sensor replacements and enhancing convenience for users. These features could lead to better glucose control and improved quality of life for people with diabetes.
What evidence suggests that the Eversense CGM System is effective for diabetes?
Research has shown that the Eversense Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System works well for people with diabetes. Studies found the Eversense system to be very accurate, correctly identifying low and high blood sugar levels over 96% of the time. It provides real-time glucose readings, aiding users in managing their diabetes more effectively. The system continuously checks glucose levels for up to 90 days using a small sensor placed under the skin. In this trial, participants will first manage their diabetes with self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) for 6 months, then switch to the Eversense CGM system for the next 6 months. Overall, the Eversense CGM System is a dependable tool for monitoring blood sugar levels in adults with diabetes.23678
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who have never used a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for more than one week in the last six months. Participants must own an internet-enabled smartphone and be able to follow study instructions. Critically ill patients, those on dialysis, pregnant or nursing women, and individuals with certain medical conditions are excluded.Inclusion Criteria
