Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn whether there is a difference in the amount of time glucose (blood sugar) stays within a target range (glucose 70 - 180 mg/dl) when using either continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) or fingerstick blood glucose monitoring (BGM) in people with Type 2 diabetes who participate in the Virta Treatment program.

Study Arms (2)
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants in this arm will use the FreeStyle Libre 2 CGM sensor.
Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM)
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants in this arm will use the Precision Xtra fingerstick blood glucose meter throughout the study.
Interventions
Use of CGM (FreeStyle Libre 2) compared to BGM for glucose monitoring
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age \> 18 years
- U.S. residence with plans to remain in the U.S. for study duration (for shipping purposes)
- Diagnosis of T2D
- HbA1c between 7.5-11.5% documented within 60 days prior to consent
- Stable diabetes medication regimen and lifestyle patterns (eating and activity) within approximately 90 days prior to consent
- Using at least one glucose-lowering medication (oral or injectable) for diabetes management at the time of consent; if using insulin, this may include up to a total of three or fewer insulin injections per day (e.g., once or twice daily basal insulin, once or twice daily basal insulin plus one prandial insulin dose, once or twice daily pre-mix insulin, or another combination etc.)
- English language comprehension
- Confirmed download of FreeStyle Libre 2 app on personal smartphone with access to WiFi
- Willing and able to record study data using smartphone, tablet, and/or computer
- Willing to wear and use study-provided CGM devices for up to 7 months
- Willing to perform fingersticks to test blood glucose
- Willing to perform fingersticks to test blood ketones twice daily
- Eligible to initiate and intention to participate in the dietary changes required as part of the Virta Treatment for at least 7 months
You may not qualify if:
- Type 1 diabetes
- Currently using an insulin pump or multiple daily injection insulin therapy with \>3 insulin injections per day or using bolus injections to cover every meal
- Currently following a self-reported, very low-carbohydrate eating pattern
- Currently using a personal CGM or plans to use a personal CGM during the study period
- Advanced-stage renal, cardiac, hepatic, or other chronic disease
- History of ketoacidosis
- Pregnant, lactating, or planned pregnancy
- Allergy to medical grade adhesive or isopropyl alcohol used to disinfect skin
- Participation in another interventional trial at the time of enrollment or during the study period
- Participant is unsuitable for participation due to any cause as determined by Investigators

Limitations and Caveats
CGM was compared with BGM in people with T2D; however, many people with T2D do not regularly use glucose monitoring, it would have been ideal to compare both groups to a third arm that was not using any glucose monitoring.
