Treating Early Type 2 Diabetes by Reducing Postprandial Glucose Excursions: A Paradigm Shift in Lifestyle Modification

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

A Randomized Control Trial (RCT) with 1:1 randomization of adults newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to Routine Care (RC) and RC + Glycemic Excursion Minimization (RC+GEM); a program that provides RC in addition to continuous glucose monitors (CGM) within a structured, self-directed, and personalized lifestyle program called GEM. Our hypothesis is that RC+GEM will: 1) reduce hemoglobin A1c as much or more, 2) require less diabetes medication, 3) cost less, and 4) have more secondary benefits, (e.g. greater reduction in cardiovascular risk, weight, diabetes distress, depression symptoms), compared to RC alone.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:30 Years to 80 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. Age 18 years or older
  2. Willing and able to provide informed consent
  3. Able to understand and follow study procedures
  4. Stable medical condition
  1. 1. Medications that have affected participant's weight (e.g., prednisone) within the last 3 months
  2. 2. Participation in an exercise program to lose weight since last hemoglobin A1c blood test
  3. 3. Currently taking psychotropic medications that raise blood glucose (e.g., atypical antipsychotics) such as clozapine, olanzapine, risperidone, quetiapine, asenapine, arirprazole, brexpiprazole, iloperidone, lurasidone, paliperidone, and ziprasidone
  4. 4. Conditions that preclude participating in the study (e.g., severe mental disease like manic depressive illness, severe depression, active substance abuse)
  5. 5. Conditions that preclude increasing physical activity (e.g., severe neuropathy, cardiovascular disease, COPD/emphysema, severe osteoarthritis, stroke)
  6. 6. Conditions that prevent doing the self-directed GEM program, such as inability to read English, mental health conditions that prevent engagement in treatment, such as active substance abuse, severe depression
  7. 7. Conditions that restrict diet such as severe gastroparesis, ulcers, or food allergies
  8. 8. Severe vision impairment that at PI discretion would preclude ability to read the GEM manual or see the information on the CGM or activity tracker
  9. 9. Currently undergoing treatment for cancer that in the opinion of the PI would preclude participation in the study
  10. 10. No marked renal impairment (for example eGFR \< 45 mL/min/1.73 meters squared; CKD-3b)
  11. 11. Currently pregnant or contemplating pregnancy within the next 14 months
  12. 12. Currently breastfeeding
  13. 13. Any condition that, in the opinion of the principal investigator, could interfere with the safe and effective completion of the study.
