First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-phase study looks at whether older adults (65+) with type 2 diabetes and mild cognitive impairment can better manage their blood sugar by sharing continuous glucose monitor data with a care partner via a mobile app. Fourteen participants and their care partners will use the system for two weeks, then give feedback through interviews. The goal is to see if this approach is acceptable and helpful for daily diabetes decisions.
