Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if blood sugar monitoring using a FreeStyle Libre device can improve overall Diabetes control in people with Type 2 Diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the effect of monitoring using the FreeStyle Libre device for a period of 12 weeks on the blood sugar control of people with Type 2 Diabetes?
- Can monitoring using the FreeStyle Libre device improve the quality of life of people with Type 2 diabetes? Participants will be asked to wear one of two brands of FreeStyle Libre devices. In one group, participants will have 3 visits, while those in the second group, they will have 4 visits. Researchers will compare the improvement in the sugar control for the individuals but also compare between the 2 groups.
