About this trial
A pilot study to evaluate and compare glucose metrics using a real-time continuous glucose monitor (FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor) between patients with diabetes and gastroparesis and those with diabetes without gastroparesis.

Patients with diagnosis of type 1 Diabetes or type 2 Diabetes for at least one year.
Normal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) within the last year.
Disqualifiers
Hemoglobin A1c of >11% at enrollment.

Advanced and significant cardiovascular disease or unstable angina.
Advanced liver disease that may affect glucose profiles.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Time-in-Range (TIR)
Percentage of time spent per day (and estimated actual amount of time in hours or minutes per day) in target glucose range 70-180 mg/dL.
Time-in-Tight Range (TITR)
Percentage of time spent per day (and estimated actual amount of time in hours or minutes per day) in target glucose range 70-140 mg/dL.
Time Below Range (TBR)
Percentage of time spent per day (and estimated actual amount of time in hours or minutes per day) with glucose \<70 mg/dL (including readings \<54 mg/dL)
Time Above Range (TAR)
Percentage of time spent per day (and estimated actual amount of time in hours or minutes per day) with \>180 mg/dL (including readings \>250 mg/dL).
Secondary outcomes
Hyperglycemia episodes
At least 15 minutes or longer of Time-Above Range (TAR) 181-250 mg/dL (Level 1 hyperglycemia) and \>250 mg/dl (Level 2 hyperglycemia)
Hypoglycemia episodes
At least 15 minutes or longer of Time-Below-Range (TBR) 54-69 mg/dL (Level 1 hypoglycemia) or \<54 mg/dL (Level 2 hypoglycemia)
Other outcomes
GCSI questionnaire
9 symptoms item questionnaire with a 6-point Likert-type response scale, ranging from 0 (none) to 5 (very severe). Total scores are in the range of 0-5, with higher scores reflecting greater symptom severity.
GIQLI questionnaire
36-item questionnaire based on a 0-4 Likert-type scale, ranging from 0 (least desirable option) to 4 (most desirable option). Total scores range from 0 to 144, with higher scores indicating a better quality of life.
