New Research Study Using CGM and a Basal Insulin Calculator for Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
About The Study
Do you have Type 2 Diabetes and use (or are willing to start) basal insulin? You may qualify for a research study evaluating a new glucose monitoring system.
This study is designed to evaluate how an FDA-cleared CGM system and basal insulin dose calculator work, and to confirm it is safe to use. Participants will wear the study CGM device and use a mobile app that provides daily insulin dose recommendations for approximately 4 months. Weekly telephone check-ins are also included.
To take part in the study, participants should:
- Have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes
- Be currently using Glargine U-100 basal insulin, or willing to start
- Be 18 years of age or older
- Be willing to wear the study provided CGM system
- Be willing to receive and follow daily basal insulin dose recommendations through the study app
What Is a Study?

- Research patients meet with a study coordinator and doctor multiple times to monitor them.
- Each visit, patients are compensated for travel expenses.
- Study patients must meet a list of criteria in order to be a part of a study.
- A study can last anywhere from six months to a few years.
