Using continuous glucose monitoring to improve blood sugar control in dialysis patients
Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Dialysis Patients to Overcome Dysglycemia (CONDOR) Trial
['FUNDING_R01'] · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES · NIH-11047742
This study is looking at how using continuous glucose monitoring can help people with diabetes who are on dialysis keep their blood sugar levels stable and avoid dangerous lows, making it easier for them to manage their health.

What this research studies
This research investigates the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to help manage blood sugar levels in patients undergoing dialysis due to diabetes. The study aims to address the high risk of hypoglycemia in these patients, which can lead to serious health complications. By providing real-time glucose data, the research seeks to improve glycemic control and reduce the associated risks of cardiovascular issues and psychological stress. Participants will be monitored closely to assess the effectiveness of CGM compared to traditional blood glucose monitoring methods.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adults aged 21 and older who are undergoing dialysis and have diabetes.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have diabetes or are not undergoing dialysis may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve blood sugar management and overall health outcomes for dialysis patients with diabetes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promising results with continuous glucose monitoring in other diabetic populations, suggesting potential for success in this novel application.
