Continuous Glucose Monitoring With Real‐Time Alerts to Achieve Glycaemic Control in Surgical Patients With Diabetes: Protocol for a Multicentre, Randomised, Clinical Trial
Study context
- Population
- Adults with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes undergoing surgery lasting >45 min with expected hospital stay of at least one nightplanned sample size
- Participants
- 200 adults
- Planned comparison
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with active alerts vs CGM with values and alerts concealed
- Primary endpoint
- CGM time-in-range between 6.0 and 10.0 mmol/L
Methodological detailsmulticentre, two-group, 90% power to detect a 15% relative difference in the primary outcome, expected 10% dropout, All patients receive routine diabetes care incl. intermittent point-of-care (POC) glucose testing, Trial-specific guideline integrating CGM with insulin treatment and POC tests
