Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Type 2 Diabetes Not on Insulin
Official title: Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems in People With Type 2 Diabetes Not Treated With Insulin - the Association With Metabolic Control of Diabetes and Markers of Early Vascular Changes
Run by Medical University of Bialystok · NCT07919236 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitoring system helps people with type 2 diabetes who aren’t using insulin to improve blood sugar control and quality of life.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults 18–65 with type 2 diabetes for at least 6 months, BMI ≥25 kg/m2, on oral meds or GLP-1 receptor agonists or tirzepatide, HbA1c 7.5–10%, and no recent insulin therapy or CGM use.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with HbA1c >10% or those on insulin, or with conditions preventing CGM sensor use, may not benefit.

What this trial studies
Adults aged 18–65 with type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity, treated with non-insulin regimens, will be randomized to use a CGM system or self-monitoring with a glucose meter for 12 weeks. The study will track metabolic control (HbA1c and related markers) and quality of life, plus explore links between glucose control and early cardiovascular disease markers. Follow-up occurs 3 months after the intervention to see if benefits persist. The trial compares CGM use to standard capillary glucose monitoring in routine care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, CGM could help patients better manage blood sugar and potentially reduce cardiovascular risk.
How similar studies have gone: Past studies show CGM benefits in insulin-treated diabetes, but evidence in non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes is limited and exploratory here.
