About this study

This is an observational study to understand the glucose characteristics of the general population (normal glucose, pre-diabetes, and diabetes). Glucose risk will be measured with laboratory HbA1c and continuous glucose monitor (CGM) derived metrics. Physical activity will also be measured using a Fitbit activity tracker. The study will inform future programs that use CGM and activity tracking to identify people at risk for diabetes in the population.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-center, observational study that will enroll a maximum of 550 subjects. All potential study subjects will be current or former employees or dependents eligible to enroll for Employer's group health plan and will demonstrate interest in response to recruitment materials placed in the near site clinic and/or the surrounding community. Participation interest will be demonstrated by calling the study number. Potential subjects will then undergo a screening call performed by study staff and, if still interested and likely eligible will be scheduled for Visit 1 and potential Visit 2. If a potential subject is not interested in continuing they will be given the option to anonymously complete a survey as to why they declined participation.

All potential subjects at Visit 1 will be required to provide written or electronic informed consent to participate. Once informed consent is obtained, study staff will confirm if there is a recent A1C available . If subject has a confirmed diagnosis of diabetes or pre-diabetes and an A1C result within the last 8-weeks or does not have diabetes or pre-diabetes and has an A1C within the last 6-months no A1C will be drawn. If the subject does not have a recent A1C a POC A1C will be taken at Visit 2. Study staff or subject will deploy the CGM system at Visit 1. Study staff will verify that the CGM is successfully blinded and subject has been trained on wearing CGM before subject completes Visit 1.

Subjects will be offered to wear an optional activity tracker and if chosen will also be required to download the activity tracker mobile application onto their personal smartphone. Subjects will then be trained on how to synchronize and charge their study activity tracker. To complete Visit 1 activities subjects will be asked to complete up to three surveys regarding their health status, reason for participation, diabetes risk, and if they decline to wear the activity tracker and why. Subjects upon leaving Visit 1 will confirm their return Visit 2 and remuneration will be processed at this time.

During the 10-day wear period subjects will have access to study staff in-person at the clinic and have Dexcom Technical Support available through a dedicated phone line Monday through Friday.

At Visit 2, study staff will assist subjects with removing the CGM and if wearing an activity tracker will also have it removed. Study staff will confirm the activity tracker has been synced with the subject's mobile application before deletion from the smartphone. Study staff will collect and record adverse events, serious adverse events, or unanticipated problems. Subjects will be asked to complete a user experience survey and have their mailing address confirmed for delivery of the final summary report and completion survey. A POC A1C will be obtained (unless a recent A1C and shared with subjects). Unless previously diagnosed with diabetes, subjects will be classified as normal glucose levels, prediabetes or diabetes based on their overall data. Subjects who are newly diagnosed with diabetes (POC A1C ≥ 6.5%) may be referred to their primary care physician. Remuneration will be processed at this time. Safety data will not be obtained for any subject after Visit 2 unless an ongoing AE is considered not resolved or ongoing and not stable.

Approximately 5 days after Visit 2, study staff will mail a final summary report of CGM and activity metrics along with a user experience survey together with a pre-addressed return envelope. The survey will provide the option for subjects to be called for follow-up interview by a study research staff trained in user-experience research for an interview about their experience. In addition, a subject data summary report may be provided to their primary care physician and/or endocrinologist. A majority of the subjects will be considered exited from the study after the interview or the interview was declined, and/or the user experience survey has been received. A select group of subjects (up to 50) will receive a new version of the data summary report based on the feedback collected from the initial group of completed data summary report surveys. Trained research staff will follow-up and discuss the changes with these subject.

36 months of retrospective and 24 months ± 1 month of prospective concurrent medical claims and cost data will be collected for each subject after the subject has been exited from the study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) SystemDevice

    Also called Fitbit Charge 3 Activity Tracker

    Participants wear a blinded Dexcom G6 CGM and a Fitbit Charge 3 activity tracker for 10 days.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diabetes Status

    diabetes status will be determined by A1C record or clinically measured point-of-care A1C (no diabetes <5.7%, pre-diabetes 5.7% to 6.4%, and diabetes > or = to 6.5%).

    Measured: Clinic Visit 2 (about 10 days from study enrollment)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. CGM-derived Time in Range (TIR)

    Estimated normal glucose time in range (TIR) (70-180 mg/dL)

    Measured: 10-days

  2. CGM-derived Time Above Range (TAR)

    Estimated time in hyperglycemia (>180 mg/dL)

    Measured: 10-days

  3. CGM-derived Time Below Range (TBR)

    Estimated time in hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL)

    Measured: 10-days

  4. CGM-derived Glucose Variability

    Coefficient of variation of glucose (standard deviation/mean)

    Measured: 10-days

  5. Fitbit-derived daily steps

    average steps per day

    Measured: 10-days

  6. Fitbit-derived light activity

    average daily hours of light physical activity

    Measured: 10-days

  7. Fitbit-derived moderate to vigorous activity

    average daily minutes of moderate to light physical activity

    Measured: 10-days

  8. Fitbit-derived sedentary time

    average daily hours of sedentary time (< 3 METS)

    Measured: 10-days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Pre-diabetes, run by DexCom, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diabetes Status (time frame: Clinic Visit 2 (about 10 days from study enrollment)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Feb 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
