Summary

This study looks at whether using a flash continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help children and young adults in Uganda with type 1 diabetes keep their blood sugar in a healthy range more often than the usual finger-prick tests. About 180 participants will be split into two groups: one uses the CGM openly, the other uses finger-prick tests. After six months, the groups switch so everyone gets a chance to try the CGM. The study also checks if the CGM is cost-effective in a low-resource country.
