New treatment option for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
Official title Effect of Continuous Glucose Monitoring System on Glycemic Control in Non-insulin-Treated Elderly People With Type 2 Diabetes
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07007676
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if continuous glucose monitoring system works to improve glucose control in non-insulin-treated older adults with type 2 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Dose the use of continuous glucose monitoring system improve glucose control in older adults with type 2 diabetes treated with oral antidiabetic drugs only?
- This is a blinded study.
