Diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are two major public health problems that commonly coexist. However, the standard method of glycemic monitoring in DM, glycated hemoglobin (A1C), is unreliable in CKD. A novel approach to glycemic monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), has revolutionized diabetes care. However, CGM trials in DM largely excluded patients with advanced CKD, and the few small CGM studies in CKD were hampered by technical limitations such as older CGM with inferior accuracy, short duration CGM use. Therefore, we are conducting a study using CGM in patients with coexisting CKD and diabetes, with both retrospective data analysis and prospective patient recruitment. Students are expected to be mostly involved in study design, data collection and chart review; they can also take roles in data analysis and patient recruitment if they are interested. We'll also have students participate in the draft of at least 1 co-author manuscript from the projects.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
