Summary

This study tests whether wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) helps teens with prediabetes stick to healthy lifestyle changes and improve insulin sensitivity. Fifteen overweight or obese teens aged 10–17 with impaired glucose tolerance will wear a Dexcom G7 sensor and receive real-time glucose feedback. The goal is to see if this approach reduces body mass index and lowers the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
