ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to understand how changes in blood sugar levels (glycemic variability) and low blood sugar episodes (hypoglycemia) may be linked to heart rhythm problems (cardiac arrhythmias) in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Specifically, it will focus on patients who have a special heart device called an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) and who can be monitored remotely using Bluetooth technology and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The researchers hope to learn more about these connections to improve care for individuals with diabetes and heart issues.

To participate in this study, you must be an adult over 18 years old, have Type 2 diabetes (but not on insulin), and already have an implantable heart device that connects via Bluetooth. It’s also important that you have a normal heart rhythm at the time you join the study. Unfortunately, if you’re pregnant, have certain types of persistent heart arrhythmias, or might be hard to contact for follow-ups, you won’t be able to take part. If you join, you’ll help researchers gather important information that could lead to better management of diabetes and heart health in the future.
