Unmasking Diabetes in Dialysis With Continuous Glucose Monitoring
This study will evaluate whether Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) can identify previously unrecognized diabetes and clinically significant hyperglycemia in adults with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) receiving hemodialysis who have no known history of diabetes.
Participants will wear a CGM sensor for up to 15 days and undergo standard diabetes assessments, including fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin.
The primary objectives are to:
* Determine the prevalence of previously undiagnosed diabetes among dialysis patients using OGTT criteria. * Compare CGM glucose patterns between participants with and without diabetes as determined by OGTT results.
Inclusion: Dialysis treatment for more than 3 months; Willing to wear a CGM for at least 10 days and to undergo an OGTT.
Exclusion: History of diabetes or use of insulin or any diabetes treatment in the past; Allergy to medical-grade adhesives; Pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.
