Title: Continuous glucose monitoring vs point of care glucose measurements for in-hospital type 2 diabetes management - STENO In-Hospital CGM Trial - a multisite, randomized controlled trial.
Aim To investigate the effects and feasibility of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on in-hospital glycemic and clinical outcomes in hospitalized, non-intensive care unit (non-ICU) patients with type 2 diabetes compared to standard point-of-care (POC) glucose testing.
Population: Non-ICU adults with type 2 diabetes at the participating departments at hospitals in the Capital Region of Denmark.
Design: Investigator-initiated, multi-site, two-armed, prospective, randomized, open-labelled blinded endpoint (PROBE) trial. Participants are randomized 1:1 to either a POC-arm (control) or a CGM-arm (intervention):
In the CGM-arm, a diabetes support team assists in insulin titration to ensure the execution of algorithmic decisions according to protocol. In the POC-arm the same diabetes support team will ensure that participants are treated with insulin according to national guidelines.
Objectives: To compare in-hospital glycemic control and clinical outcomes between the POC- and CGM-arm participants.
Outcomes: Time in range (3.9-10.0 mmol/L) and in-hospital complications are the primary outcomes. Additional secondary glycemic outcomes are reported in alignment with the newest consensus on CGM-metrics for in-hospital glucose management. Key secondary clinical outcomes are length of stay, 7-, 30-, 60-, and 90-days mortality and readmission rates after discharge. Tertiary outcomes are net costs of the two methods for handling in-hospital diabetes, and an assessment of potential heterogeneity of treatment effects from CGM compared to POC.
Method: POC glucose measurements are transmitted to the Electronic Medical Record (Sundhedsplatformen). CGM data from the Dexcom G7 is transmitted to a separate web-based platform, Dexcom CLARITY, for retrospective review. Additionally, real-time glucose data from the Dexcom G7 is displayed on tablets/iPhones at diabetes support team stations for ongoing monitoring.
Investigational device: Dexcom G7 CGM (Dexcom Inc., San Diego, USA). Time schedule: Inclusion Q2 2025 to Q4 2026.
Type 2 diabetes defined as treatment with at least one glucose-lowering therapy prior to inclusion AND
Exclusion Criteria:
Device: Continuous glucose monitoring
Participants in this arm are monitored with CGM and treated with support from a CGM-based algorithm for insulin titration.
Percentage of time spent in range (3.9-10.0 mmol/L)
Primary outcome measures are collected from the day of inclusion (hospitalization) of a participant until the day the participant is discharged from the hospital. The duration of the hospitalization varies for each participant and will rarely exceed 30 days.
Time frame: From enrollment to end of hospitalization.
Inhospital complications
Primary outcome measures are collected from the day of inclusion (hospitalization) of a participant until the day the participant is discharged from the hospital. The duration of the hospitalization varies for each participant and will rarely exceed 30 days.
Time frame: From enrollment to end of hospitalization.
