Summary
This study tests whether wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) helps adults with prediabetes improve their diet and physical activity compared to standard health coaching. 76 participants from a Singapore polyclinic will be randomly assigned to receive either a CGM plus coaching or coaching alone. The study also interviews patients and healthcare providers to understand the real-world benefits and challenges of using CGM for prediabetes.
