Characteristics of Blood Glucose Variability in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and COVID-19
China200 participantsStarted 2023-08-01
Plain-language summary
using intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) to clarify the characteristics of blood glucose variability parameters in T2DM patients with NCP, guide the formulation of reasonable clinical treatment measures and make timely and reasonable adjustments, improve the prognosis of patients, shorten the length of hospital stay, and reduce medical costs.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the characteristics of blood glucose variability in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) and its effect on disease progression and prognosis.
The main question it aims to answer is:After fully lifting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic control measures in mainland China in 12/2022, the incidence of COVID-19 has increased markedly, making it difficult to meet the general time-in-range (TIR) requirement. Therefore, the investigators investigated a more clinically practical TIR threshold and examined its association with the prognosis of COVID-19 patients with type-2 diabetes.
participant population/health conditions：Participants were equipped with isCGM sensors on admission.
According to the outcome, the patients were divided into favorable outcome group and composite outcome group.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
