About this study

Official title: A Pilot Trial of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Technology in Preoperative Assessment Clinic

To evaluate use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology in the preoperative setting: evaluate feasibility of placement of CGM during preoperative clinic visit with intent to utilize CGM throughout perioperative period.

Read the detailed description

To further study potential barriers related to loss of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data as it relates to use of electrocautery and grounding devices utilized in the perioperative setting. To assess how CGM technology could improve glycemic management in the perioperative setting, specifically in predicting and preventing hypoglycemic episodes as well as utilization for treating hyperglycemia with resultant improvement in patient morbidity, mortality, length of stay, and overall quality of life. CGM technology aids tremendously in data collection with recognition of glycemic patterns, as well as evaluating prediction of blood glucose changes including both hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic events. The availability of such a large volume of glycemic data has been shown to make a tremendous impact in patient care, resulting in statistically significant reductions in hemoglobin A1c, a decrease in hypoglycemia, a decrease in hospital admissions for diabetes complications, and improved overall quality of life and fear of hypoglycemia in patients using CGM technology.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disparities in Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Accuracy - Fingerstick Values

    Accuracy of CGM technology utilizing Dexcom G6 CGM and Freestyle Libre 2.0 CGM in the perioperative setting for glycemic management of patients with hyperglycemia and/or diabetes mellitus compared with current standard of care utilizing point of care blood glucose fingerstick Glucose values - Only Glucometers

    Measured: Day 7

  2. Disparities (Percentage Difference) in Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Accuracy - Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) / Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP)/ Blood Gas Values - Overall Number of Unit Analyzed (Glucose Values Each Group)

    Accuracy of CGM technology utilizing Dexcom G6 CGM and Freestyle Libre 2.0 CGM in the perioperative setting for glycemic management of patients with hyperglycemia and/or diabetes mellitus compared with current standard of care utilizing serum and arterial glucose values - Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) / Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP)/ blood gas values For each CMP/BMP/Blood Gas Value recorded in the Electronic Medical Record during the period of CGM wear, a percentage difference was calculated between the measured glucose value and the corresponding CGM value.

    Measured: Day 7

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Patients With Functioning Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) - Arrived on Their Date of Surgery (DOS) With Working CGM

    Proportion of patients who present on day of surgery with CGM still in place and functioning

    Measured: Day 7

  2. Disparities in Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Accuracy - Interference Amount

    Analysis of potential electrocautery interference in CGM data collection was performed through visual review of the CGM glucose data graphs for unexpected gaps or spikes during surgery. No such events were observed in the CGM outputs during the review. Disparities in CGM accuracy due to interference were reported as 0%.

    Measured: Hour 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous Glucose monitor in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 2 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 2025. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Dec 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Disparities in Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Accuracy - Fingerstick Values (time frame: Day 7). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Dec 2025.
