Use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) systems in inpatient settings especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, may allow hospital staff to remotely monitor glucose while reducing viral exposure and preserving use of PPE. RT-CGM may be of benefit to inpatients with unstable glycaemia and at risk of severe hypoglycaemia, as it can automatically alert the treating clinical team of hypo and hyperglycaemia. This is of clinical relevance as up to 45% of inpatients with diabetes were found to have asymptomatic hypoglycaemia events in hospital, especially overnight. It may therefore provide a safer method of monitoring glycaemia in hospital compared to conventional bedside capillary glucose testing, by minimising the likelihood of hyper- and hypoglycaemic events and their known associated worse outcomes.
The aim of this pilot study is to to demonstrate that use of Dexcom G6 RT-CGM may provide a safer and effective method of monitoring glycemia in hospital. Data from this pilot study will be used to design and implement a larger multi-centre pivotal trial.
