Study summary

This is a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled trial involving 80 adult patients with newly diagnosed T2DM (diagnosed within the last 3 months) recruited at the Bogomolets National Medical University. Participants may be lifestyle-controlled or receiving stable non-insulin anti-diabetic medications. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring group (CGM group) or the control group (standard Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose [SMBG] using conventional glucometers).

The gathered data will help determine whether the real-time visual feedback provided by CGM systems superiorly improves glycemic variability, optimizes metabolic parameters, and enhances patient adherence to lifestyle interventions and pharmacological treatment compared to conventional SMBG methods in the early stages of T2D.

Read the detailed description

Newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) represents a critical therapeutic window where intensive glycemic control can significantly preserve beta-cell function, reduce glycemic variability, and potentially induce diabetes remission. International guidelines emphasize that early, tight glycemic control is strongly associated with a better long-term prognosis and a reduced risk of micro- and macrovascular complications. However, traditional self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) via finger-prick glucometers offers only static "snapshots" of glucose levels, missing critical fluctuations, asymptomatic hypoglycemia, and postprandial spikes. Routine indicators like fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) fail to capture the full spectrum of glycemic variability, which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Recently, Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology has emerged as a transformative tool, providing real-time, 24-hour glucose profiles. Beyond its clinical utility, CGM serves as a powerful biofeedback mechanism, motivating patients to adopt sustainable lifestyle changes-such as targeted physical activity, dietary adjustments, and improved sleep hygiene. While CGM is widely adopted in established diabetes management, its clinical utility, impact on patient adherence, and quality of life in individuals with newly diagnosed T2DM who are starting or optimizing non-insulin pharmacological therapies remain insufficiently explored.

This is a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled trial involving 80 adult patients with newly diagnosed T2DM (diagnosed within the last 3 months) recruited at the Bogomolets National Medical University. Participants may be lifestyle-controlled or receiving stable non-insulin anti-diabetic medications. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring group (CGM group) or the control group (standard Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose [SMBG] using conventional glucometers).

The intensive intervention period with the assigned monitoring devices (CGM or SMBG) and pedometers will last for the first 1 month, followed by a 2-month observation phase. The study consists of three outpatient visits:

  • Visit 1 (Baseline);
  • Visit 2 (1 month, end of active intervention);
  • Visit 3 (3 months, end of follow-up period).

During these visits, comprehensive metabolic, anthropometric, and psychological assessments will be conducted, including HbA1c, fructosamine, C-peptide, insulin resistance indices (HOMA2-IR), lipid profile, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, bioimpedance body composition analysis, objective physical activity monitoring (pedometer data), and the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire to evaluate health-related quality of life.

The gathered data will help determine whether the real-time visual feedback provided by CGM systems superiorly improves glycemic variability, optimizes metabolic parameters, and enhances patient adherence to lifestyle interventions and pharmacological treatment compared to conventional SMBG methods in the early stages of T2D.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age of 18 years and older.
  • Newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus according to ADA (American Diabetes Association) criteria (Fasting Plasma Glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L, or 2-hour Post-Prandial Glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L during OGTT, or ≥6.5%).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

  11. Quality of Life Evaluation: Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 (SF-36)

    Health-related quality of life will be evaluated using the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. The SF-36 consists of 36 items measuring 8 health domains, which are aggregated into two summary scores: the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS). For each domain and summary score, values are transformed to a scale ranging from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100. Higher scores represent better health status and a better quality of life outcome.

    Time frame: at 1 month (end of intervention) and 3 month (follow-up period) compared to baseline

Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
