The Effect of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Surgical Patients With Diabetes.
Sponsor: Christian S. Meyhoff
Summary
The goal of this randomised controlled trial to investigate the effect of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) compared to standard point-of-care (POC) blood glucose measurements in surgical patients with diabetes in patients. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can the use of the CGM device Dexcom G7 with real-time alerts on dysglycaemia increase the time in range for glucose levels as compared with standard monitoring with point-of-care blood glucose in surgical patients with diabetes? Participants will be asked to wear a CGM device (Dexcom G7, Dexcom Inc.) during their stay in the hospital. For patients in the intervention group, deviations of glucose levels will provide the nursing staff with alerts. All patients will receive standard care of their diabetes. The CGM device will be worn for up to 10 days or until discharge.

Interventions
Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System (G7)
A continuous glucose monitor which through a sensor in the skin registers glucose levels every 5 minutes. Glucose levels are shown by connecting the sensor to a mobile device or the Dexcom G7 Receiver where realtime alerts on deviating glucose levels will be sent.
