CGM Use in Heart Failure (NCT07045298)
Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring for the Management of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Acutely Decompensated Heart Failure
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of hospital admissions in the US, with over 6 million hospital days annually. More than 40% of hospitalized patients with HF have diabetes mellitus (DM), which increases the risk of recurrent hospitalizations for HF with reduced and preserved ejection fraction by more than two-fold. Current methods for assessing glycemic control do not consider fluctuations in blood glucose levels, known as glycemic variability. High glycemic variability is a poor prognostic marker for HF re-hospitalizations. Given the significant prevalence and impact of DM in individuals with HF, it is crucial to examine whether improving glycemic control and avoiding hypoglycemia could lead to a decrease in HF readmissions. Real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM), which provides glucose measurements as frequently as every 5 minutes, has improved glycemic control in insulin-treated adults with DM compared to the standard of care, capillary point-of-care blood glucose testing (POC). Researchers will monitor participants during their hospital stay and 3 months after discharge.
