About this study

This study evaluates the effect of using a real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system on blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin.

Participants will wear a CGM device (CareSens Air) for a total of two weeks. During the first week, the device will be set to "blinded mode," meaning participants cannot see their glucose readings. During the second week, the device will be switched to "unblinded mode," allowing participants to view their glucose levels and trends in real-time.

The study aims to determine if simply seeing real-time glucose data can help patients improve their blood sugar control (such as increasing the time their blood sugar is in the target range) without receiving additional structured education on diet or exercise. Researchers will compare the glucose data collected during the blinded week with the data from the unblinded week.

What participants receive

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

  • Continuous glucose monitoringDevice

    All participants are adults with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes. Participants will wear a real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM) device (CareSens Air) for a total of two weeks. The intervention consists of two consecutive phases:

    1. Week 1 (Blinded Mode): Participants wear the CGM but cannot view their glucose readings. This period establishes baseline glycemic data.
    2. Week 2 (Unblinded Mode): The same CGM session continues, but the mode is switched to "unblinded." Participants can view their real-time glucose levels and trend arrows.

    Throughout the study, no additional structured education (e.g., diet or exercise coaching) or medication adjustments by the investigators are provided. The study evaluates the effect of data visibility alone on glycemic metrics.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Experimental: Sequential CGM Application (Blinded followed by Unblinded)ExperimentalSingle arm consisting of adults with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes. All participants undergo a 2-week prospective observation using a real-time CGM device (CareSens Air), transitioning from a blinded baseline period to an unblinded intervention period to evaluate glycemic changes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Percentage of Time in Range (TIR) 70-180 mg/dL From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded)

    Percentage of time glucose readings are within the target range of 70-180 mg/dL.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 2

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change in Percentage of Time in Tight Range (TITR) 70-140 mg/dL From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded)

    Percentage of time glucose readings are within the tight target range of 70-140 mg/dL.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 2

  2. Change in Percentage of Time Below Range (TBR) <70 mg/dL From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded)

    Percentage of time glucose readings are below 70 mg/dL, indicating hypoglycemia.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 2

  3. Change in Percentage of Time Below Range (TBR) <54 mg/dL From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded)

    Percentage of time glucose readings are below 54 mg/dL, indicating clinically significant hypoglycemia.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 2

  4. Change in Percentage of Time Above Range (TAR) >140 mg/dL From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded)

    Percentage of time glucose readings are above 140 mg/dL. This metric assesses exposure to hyperglycemia, including mild elevations.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 2

  5. Change in Percentage of Time Above Range (TAR) >180 mg/dL From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded)

    Percentage of time glucose readings are above 180 mg/dL, indicating hyperglycemia.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 2

  6. Change in Percentage of Time Above Range (TAR) >250 mg/dL From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded)

    Percentage of time glucose readings are above 250 mg/dL, indicating severe hyperglycemia.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 2

  7. Change in Mean Glucose Concentration From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded)

    Average glucose concentration (mg/dL) measured by the CGM device.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 2

  8. Change in Glucose Standard Deviation (SD) From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded)

    Standard Deviation (SD) of glucose readings, measuring glycemic variability.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 2

  9. Change in Glucose Coefficient of Variation (CV) From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded)

    Coefficient of Variation (CV) calculated as (SD / Mean Glucose) * 100, measuring glycemic variability.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 2

  10. Change in Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded)

    GMI is an estimated HbA1c level calculated from the mean glucose concentration derived from CGM data.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous glucose monitoring in people with Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Type 2 Diabetes, run by Kangbuk Samsung Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 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 South Korea. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Change in Percentage of Time in Range (TIR) 70-180 mg/dL From Week 1 (Blinded) to Week 2 (Unblinded) (time frame: Week 1 and Week 2). 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 23 Dec 2025.
