Brief Summary
This study is a two-arm randomized controlled trial in which participants will receive either the Livongo Health system or iHealth glucose meter for measuring their blood glucose. The study hypothesizes the use of the Livongo Health system results in a greater improvement in A1c compared to standard blood glucose monitoring, as demonstrated by the iHealth Bluetooth-enabled glucose meter.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Mean HbA1c Levels
Three HbA1c measures per study participant will be acquired at 3 points in the study duration (baseline, 3 months, and 6 months). In order to compare the changes in HbA1c, the values may be analyzed and separated with regard to duration of diabetes (days, months, years), and/or HbA1c levels at baseline. Reported in this table are the means for all participants for each given timepoint.
6 months
Change in HbA1c
In this analysis, change in HbA1c within individual participants was compared from baseline to 6 months. Only participants with 6-month data were included.

Study Arms (2)
Blood Glucose Monitoring System
EXPERIMENTALParticipants in this arm will receive the Livongo Health System to manage diabetes. 150 participants will participate in this arm.
Standard Blood Glucose Monitoring
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants in this arm will receive the iHealth Glucose Meter to take blood glucose measurements that will then be compared to participants from the Livongo Health System arm. 150 participants will participate in this arm.
Interventions
Participants will be asked to use the Livongo Health System to manage their blood glucose.
Participants will be asked to use the iHealth Glucose Meter to take blood glucose measurements.
