Equipment for diabetes studies

Why it matters

What makes continuous glucose monitoring data trial-grade rather than consumer-grade?
Diabetes trials increasingly use glycaemic variability, measured continuously over days or weeks, as an outcome measure rather than relying on single-point blood glucose readings. That requires CGM devices meeting integrated CGM (iCGM) regulatory accuracy standards, not just consumer-grade wearables, because a device that drifts even slightly can distort the time-in-range and variability metrics the trial is built around. Woodley Trial Solutions is an authorised supplier of Dexcom CGM devices that meet this standard.

Hypoglycaemia risk means real-time alerting isn't optional
Many diabetes trials, particularly those involving insulin or newer glucose-lowering agents, need to detect hypoglycaemic events as they happen rather than after the fact, for patient safety as much as data quality. Real-time alerting CGM devices that securely transfer readings to the CRO let sites intervene quickly and give safety monitors a live picture of risk.

Diabetes trials were decentralised before decentralisation was a trend
Long before the wider industry adopted decentralised elements, diabetes trials relied on patients self-monitoring at home with glucose and ketone meters, simply because tight glycaemic control can't be managed through occasional clinic visits alone. That head start means diabetes trial teams often have higher expectations for wearable reliability and data security than teams newer to decentralised models.
