Trial to Assess Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Asian Americans With Type 2 Diabetes

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study aims to understand the use of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in Asian Americans with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Researchers will compare participants on continuous glucose monitors with participants using fingerstick self-monitoring with the aim of answering the following questions: 1. Check if continuous glucose monitoring is doable and consistent for this group, and see how it affects their quality of life. 2. Estimate how well the health outcomes (glucose and lipid markers) vary over the study period. 3. Understand how social and community factors can impact the use of continuous glucose monitors in this group.

Official Title

A Pilot Clinical Trial to Assess Feasibility, Facilitators and Barriers of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Asian Americans With Type 2 Diabetes

  2. * CGM-naïve
  3. * HbA1c \>7.5% within 3 months of study commencement.
