Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study

Summary

This study is testing whether 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 standard finger-prick testing. Half of the 180 participants will use the CGM for the first six months, while the other half will use standard testing. After six months, the groups switch. The study also looks at whether the CGM is cost-effective in a low-resource country.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
FreeStyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor (CGM)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that flash CGM is a practical and cost-effective tool to help young people in low-resource settings manage their diabetes better.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 4 trial with 180 participants, so results may not apply to all populations. The device requires consistent use and access to supplies, which could be challenging in some settings.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children and youth in Uganda, age 4-26 years at the beginning of the baseline assessment * T1D (determined by clinical criteria, as autoantibody testing is not regionally available) of at least 12 months duration at the beginning of the baseline assessment * Receiving insulin therapy * Access to a cell phone (nearly ubiquitous in Uganda, even in remote areas) * At least one parent or guardian (or as per local regulations) is present in clinic and able to give consent for children under 18 years of age (those age 18-26 may give consent for themselves) Exclusion Criteria: * Unwilling or unable to be seen monthly at the pediatric diabetes clinic * Pregnant or breast-feeding; women likely to become pregnant in the next year * Major medical conditions which the investigator feels would interfere with study participation * Patient already has CGM * Inability during the baseline assessment period to wear the sensor for at least 7 days or return it * Participant deemed unlikely or unable to comply with the protocol
