Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) has on subjects with type 2 diabetes. It is anticipated that patients using the device will obtain tighter control of their blood sugars resulting in measureable health benefits and improved confidence in their ability to manage their diabetes.

  • Are capable of and willing to test their blood glucose (BG) on an average of 4 times per day.
  • Are willing to not use Acetaminophen while enrolled in the study.
  • Are willing not to undergo a MRI procedure while wearing the CGM sensor.
  • Are willing and capable of performing self insertions of the device sensor.
  • Women of child bearing potential must be willing to use an approved form of birth control while enrolled in the study.
  • Women of child bearing potential must be willing to perform pregnancy tests monthly while enrolled in the study.

  • Are receiving basal- bolus insulin therapy
  • Are taking any medication that is not approved to be taken with insulin.
  • Are pregnant or have intentions of becoming pregnant during the duration of the study.
  • Have any skin condition that would inhibit the proper wearing of the CGM sensor including severe psoriasis, burns, eczema, scarring, excessive tattoos, etc.
  • Have a hematocrit ≤30% or ≥55%
  • Are currently enrolled in another clinical study (subjects must have ended participation in other studies at least 30 days prior to enrolling in this study.
  • Are employed by any company that manufactures or is developing a CGM device.
  • Are deemed incapable of participating in the study by the Primary Investigator for any reason.
