About this trial

The transition from inpatient care to the home setting is a critical phase for glycemic management, often associated with decreased adherence and deterioration of glycemic control. This multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (RT-CGM) versus Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) treated with insulin during the post-discharge transitional period.

A total of 160 eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the RT-CGM group or the SMBG group. Participants will wear RT-CGM intermittently (every 4 weeks) or perform SMBG for the 12-week intervention period. They will also visit the clinic at Week 12 and Week 24 for follow-up assessments.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18 to 80 years (inclusive).

Confirmed diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

HbA1c between 8.0% and 13.0% (inclusive) within the last 1 month prior to screening/enrollment.

Planned to receive insulin therapy for at least 6 months after hospital discharge, as assessed/confirmed by the treating physician (principal physician).

Disqualifiers

Current use of a real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) device, or use within the 3 months prior to enrollment.

Severe skin disease at the sensor insertion site, or allergy to adhesive tape/adhesives.

Pregnant women; positive pregnancy test at screening; or planning pregnancy during the study period.

Currently participating in, or planning to participate in, another clinical trial.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • RT-CGM

    Device

    RT-CGM can provide real-time tracking of glucose levels, and offer glucose trend graphs and user-configurable low and high glucose alerts.

  • SMBG

    Device

    SMBG provides discrete, point-in-time capillary blood glucose measurements via fingerstick testing.

Treatment groups

160 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Intervention group (RT-CGM Group)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Control Group (SMBG Group)Active comparator 1 intervention
