Summary
This pilot study tests MPowerHub, a smartphone app that helps adults with type 2 diabetes make sense of data from continuous glucose monitors and activity trackers. The app shows combined trends and prompts daily questions about diet, sleep, stress, and medication. Researchers want to see if people will use the app and stick with it for 4 months. If it works, this could lead to better diabetes management and fewer complications.
