Clinical Trial: A Study of Glycemic Control in Left Ventricular Assist
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: GLYcemic Control Evaluation by Continuous Glucose Monitor Compared With a1C in Left Ventricular Assist Device-supported Patients (GLYCEM1C-LVAD)
Brief Summary:
The study is being conducted to understand if the hemoglobin A1c, a measurement of control of blood sugars over a 3-month time, is valid in patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) in place.To understand whether it is an adequate measurement, the investigators will compare the A1c to results from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) measurement of blood sugars.By monitoring blood sugars continuously, the investigators will also assess whether they can get better control of blood sugars with a CGM,…
