NCT05928572

Brief Summary

This study includes two phases. The purpose of Phase 1 of this study is to understand if there is a difference between two ways of introducing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study will evaluate the effect of using a nutrition-focused approach (NFA) versus a self-directed approach (SDA) during CGM initiation on time in range (TIR) glucose. TIR is the percent of time that someone's glucose is between 70 and 180 mg/dL. It is possible that the approach used to introduce the CGM could impact TIR and other outcomes. The purpose of Phase 2 of the study is to evaluate the impact of discontinuing CGM for 4 months after the completion of the Phase 1 study intervention on CGM-derived metrics, dietary intake assessment, and patient reported outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Phase 1 Change in CGM-derived Time in Range (TIR)

    % time with glucose 70-180 mg/dL is a core CGM metric; it will be assessed between groups and will be described as the 24-hour period

    From baseline (day -11 to day 0) to post-intervention (day 40 to day 50)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Total Healthy Eating Index (HEI) Score

    Post-intervention period (day 40 to day 50)

Other Outcomes (14)

  • Change in CGM Derived % Time Above >180 mg/dL

    From baseline (day -11 to day 0) to post-intervention (day 40 to day 50)

  • Change in CGM-derived % Time Above >250 mg/dL

    From baseline (day -11 to day 0) to post-intervention (day 40 to day 50)

  • Change in CGM-derived % Time Below <70 mg/dL

    From baseline (day -11 to day 0) to post-intervention (day 40 to day 50)

  • +11 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Nutrition-Focused Approach (NFA)

EXPERIMENTAL

NFA arm participants will receive introduction to CGM from a diabetes care provider with emphasis placed on using the CGM data to adjust food choices. The NFA will encourage food choices that align with evidence-based nutrition recommendations for People with Diabetes (PWD), and that achieve internationally recognized glucose targets (e.g. glucose 70-180 mg/dL, and Time In Range \> 70%).

Other: CGM initiation approach

Self-Directed Approach (SDA)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The SDA arm participants will receive introduction to the CGM from a diabetes care provider using the CGM manufacturer-provided manuals and resources. The SDA will encourage participants to use the CGM device and apps in the way that feels most useful to them. The SDA is intended to reflect current CGM initiation practices, which focus on technical use of the CGM and a general review of CGM data.

Other: CGM initiation approach

Interventions

Use of a nutrition-focused approach versus a self-directed approach during CGM initiation
