Glucose monitoring systems for seafarers with insulin-dependent diabetes

This is a one-year study for seafarers who rely on insulin to manage their diabetes. You would wear a Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitoring device, which measures your blood sugar automatically throughout the day and sends readings to your phone. The study aims to see how well this technology works for people whose jobs at sea make diabetes management especially challenging.

Seafarers face unique obstacles managing diabetes because of unpredictable schedules, limited access to medical care, and the physical demands of working on ships. This study wants to understand whether continuous glucose monitoring can help keep blood sugar stable and improve safety for people who work at sea.
