Can a smartphone app and wearable help tame type 2 diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07689877
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an integrated digital health platform—combining a continuous glucose monitor, activity and sleep tracker, and food log—can improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Some participants also receive weekly feedback from a healthcare provider and monthly video calls. The goal is to see if this approach can be used in everyday primary care to help people manage their diabetes better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Integrated Digital Health (IDH) platform (continuous glucose monitor, wearable activity/sleep tracker, food log) with or without provider engagement
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help people with type 2 diabetes better manage their blood sugar through personalized, data-driven support in routine primary care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study, so results may not apply to all diabetes patients. The intervention requires consistent use of devices and apps, which may be burdensome for some.

Inclusion Criteria: * diagnosis of T2D for at least one year * recent 3 month-HbA1c, 8-11% * ownership of a smartphone * English or Spanish speaking. Exclusion Criteria: * pregnant * not available or willing to use CGM or study device/platform * serious medical conditions or active thought disorders (e.g., terminal cancer, schizophrenia) In addition to the self-report of the HbA1c within the past 3 months, potential participants will be screened with a point-of-care (POC) HbA1c (A1CNow®+).
