Continuous Glucose Monitoring Devices in Hospitalized Veterans With Diabetes
Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Insulin Treated Hospitalized Veterans With DM2 at Higher Risk for Hypoglycemia
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
More than 25% of the patients admitted in the general wards have a history of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Up to 30% of the hospitalized diabetics develop hypoglycemia (low glucose values); a condition that is associated with seizures, cardiac arrhythmias, and even death. In Veterans, the prevalence is disproportionally higher. It is estimated that 40-50% of hospitalized Veterans are diabetics. In this clinical trial the investigators describe the development of a novel system, the Glucose Telemetry System (GTS), with which glucose values can be wirelessly transmitted from the patient's bedside to a monitor device at the nursing station. The goal of this work is to develop a more effective glucose surveillance system at the general wards, which can decrease hypoglycemia in the hospital and improve clinical outcomes.
