Using Wearable Sensors To Understand Low Blood Sugar in Type 1 Diabetes (NCT06727071)
Assessment of Impaired Counterregulatory Hormones and Cardiovascular Risk Using Modern Wearable Sensors in People Living With Type 1 Diabetes.
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a single-site study using wearable sensor technology (CGM and smartwatch) to better explain low blood sugars in patients living with type 1 diabetes. Up to 20 participants with T1D will wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and a smartwatch to collect information about hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), heart rate variability (HRV), and sleep for 4 weeks. The main goal is to create a hypoglycemia risk score using wearable sensor metrics that can be easily applied to all patients with T1D to identify those at greater risk of hypoglycemia.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (9 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (14 items).
Location: University of California, San Diego - ACTRI — La Jolla, California
Age range: 18 Years to 75 Years

📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- History or evidence of clinically significant disorder or condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion;
- History of pancreatitis, medullary thyroid carcinoma or liver disease:
- Clinically significant diagnosis of anemia (Hemoglobin \< 9 g/dl at screening);
- Body Mass Index (BMI) \< 18.5 kg/m2 and/or weight \<50kg;
- Body Mass Index (BMI) \> 35 kg/m2;
- Whole blood donation of 1 pint (500 mL) within 8 weeks prior to Screening. Donations of plasma, packed RBCs, platelets or quantities less than 500 mL are allowed at investigator discretion;
- Current or recent (within 1 month of screening) use of diabetes medications other than insulin; (examples include GLP-1, RA, SGLT-2i, Pramlintide, Metformin);
- Women who are pregnant or lactating/breastfeeding;
- Unable or unwilling to follow the study protocol or who are non-compliant with screening appointments or study visits;
- Any other condition(s) that might reduce the chance of obtaining study data, or that might cause safety concerns, or that might compromise the ability to give truly informed consent;
- Severe hypoglycemic events or DKA within 3 months;
