A Study of Glycemic Control in Left Ventricular Assist (NCT05933161)
GLYcemic Control Evaluation by Continuous Glucose Monitor Compared With a1C in Left Ventricular Assist Device-supported Patients (GLYCEM1C-LVAD)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The study is being conducted to understand if the hemoglobin A1c, a measurement of control of blood sugars over a 3-month time, is valid in patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) in place. To understand whether it is an adequate measurement, the investigators will compare the A1c to results from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) measurement of blood sugars. By monitoring blood sugars continuously, the investigators will also assess whether they can get better control of blood sugars with a CGM, including avoiding low blood sugars.
