Summary

This study tests whether continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can improve blood sugar control in underserved people with type 2 diabetes who are uninsured or on Medicaid. Fifty participants will wear a CGM replaced every 14 days for 6 months. The goal is to see if this technology helps reduce health disparities and prevent long-term complications.

Active substance

Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that CGMs help underserved patients with type 2 diabetes better manage their blood sugar and reduce long-term complications.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply widely. The device must be replaced every 14 days, which could be burdensome.
