CGM Experience, Preferences & Blood Glucose Parameters

May 19, 2026 updated by: Getz Pharma

Instara™-1 Dual Perspectives on Continuous Glucose Monitoring: Understanding Patient Experience and Healthcare Professional Preferences

This is an open-label, prospective, multicenter observational study designed to evaluate the perceived benefits, device experience, preference, and glucose-related parameters associated with the Instara-1 Continuous Glucose Monitoring device. The study will include patients with diabetes and healthcare professionals. Patients will use Instara- 1 and will be followed up to assess device experience, glucose parameters, and diabetes-related quality of life. Healthcare professionals will evaluate device experience and preference, including comparison with FreeStyle Libre 2.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study aims to assess the real-world experience and perceived benefits of the Instara-1 Continuous Glucose Monitoring system among patients and healthcare professionals.

Patients diagnosed with diabetes will be enrolled after providing written informed consent. Instara-1 sensor placement will be performed at baseline, screening, and patients will be followed at Week 3, Week 6, Week 9, and Week 12 after CGM initiation. Patient assessments will include user experience, perceived benefits, preference, CGM-derived glucose parameters including estimated HbA1c and Time in Range, laboratory parameters including HbA1c, and diabetes-related quality of life using DQoL-13.

Healthcare professionals will participate to assess device-related experience, usability, preference, and comparison of Instara -1 with FreeStyle Libre 2. HCPs will complete the relevant user experience assessment at baseline before sensor insertion and at Week 3 after device use.

The primary outcomes will focus on perceived benefits, device experience, and preference related to CGM use among patients and HCPs. Secondary outcomes will assess changes in glucose-related parameters and diabetes-related quality of life among patients from baseline to the end of the study.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Study participants will be selected from diabetes clinics/healthcare facilities all across Pakistan. The patient population will include adults with diabetes mellitus who are eligible for CGM use as per the study protocol. The HCP population will include healthcare professionals involved in diabetes care, including healthy, pre-diabetic, or diabetic individuals, as applicable to the study arm.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects to provide written informed consent prior to any study procedures being performed
  • Subjects with age 18 and above both male and female
  • Diagnosed with Diabetes Miletus Type I, Type II and/or GDM
  • Comfortable using smart phone, access to internet along with Bluetooth connectivity throughout the study duration.
  • Subjects (Patients) on oral or injectable anti-diabetic medications, (in case of insulin, patient must be on insulin from last 3 months )
  • Subjects (HCPs) healthy, Pre-diabetes or Diabetes Miletus (any type)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of hypersensitivity to any of the active or inactive ingredients of the CGM device used in the trial, and/or history of significant allergic skin reactions.
  • Presence of severe diabetes complications e.g. retinopathy, acute metabolic crisis, etc.
  • History of active/ acute renal and/or hepatic failure.
  • Patients who have been admitted to the hospital in the past 3 months for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state.
  • History of critical illness or incapacitated patients
  • History of acute psychiatric disorder or exacerbation of chronic psychiatric disorder.
  • History or presence of a medical condition or disease that in the investigator's opinion would embarrass glycemic control and completion of the study.
  • Medical conditions that require patients to undergo frequent radiation/ imaging procedures for example CT, MRI and X rays
  • History of known hematological disorders such as Sickle Cell Disease & Trait, Thalassemia, Hemolytic Anemias (e.g., G6PD deficiency, autoimmune), Iron Deficiency Anemia
  • Patients on high doses of acetaminophen (>1 gram every 6 hours), ascorbic acid supplements (e.g., > 500-1000 mg/day), IV sorbitol, steroids and aspirin which can alter the readings on the CGM device.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Benefit, device experience and preference of continuous glucose monitoring by patients and HCPs
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
A user experience questionnaire will be used to assesses how glucose monitoring helps in overall diabetes management, including understanding the effect of food, exercise, and stress on glucose levels, recognizing glucose trends, improving self-management and decision-making, increasing confidence and safety, supporting better communication with healthcare providers improving overall quality of life with diabetes. A 5 point Likert scale will be used to translate subjective experience into structured, comparable feedback
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
Sensor and mobile application experience of continuous glucose monitoring by patient and comparison with Free Style®Libre 2
Time Frame: From the time of enrollment to end of week 3.
The study will use an evaluation Questionnaire focusing on the usability of the sensor and mobile app. To capture functional experience, behavioral and emotional impact a 5 point Likert scale will be used to translate subjective experience into structured, comparable feedback with 1 being strongly disagree and 5 being strongly agree. The questionnaire will include questions regarding, comfort of wearing the sensor, interference with daily life, pain or inconvenience, perceived reliability of glucose readings, system performance throughout use, overall user friendliness and willingness to use sensor again or recommend it to others.
From the time of enrollment to end of week 3.

Secondary Outcome Measures
