Official Title: A Randomized Controlled Open-label Study Comparing the Use of Real-time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (Rt-CGM) to Point of Care Testing (POCT) for Glycemic Monitoring in Patients Post-hospitalization
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to look at the benefits of using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system compared with standard-of-care testing for patients with diabetes type 2 and diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and how this will improve wound healing.
The CGM system allows medical staff and patients with diabetes to monitor and make treatment decisions to improve glucose control, without the need for performing fingersticks.
Hence, the use of CGM will decrease the painful and burdensome task of performing finger sticks several times per day and may prevent low blood glucose in patients with diabetes.
