Brief Summary
The objective is to compare the efficacy of TR-CGM versus isCGM in patients diagnosed with T2D who are treated with insulin and use CGM, as defined by time in range between 70 and 180 mg/dL. An open-label clinical trial will be conducted. Patients with T2D who use intermittent glucose monitoring and insulin with poor metabolic control will be included. They will be randomized to continue with isCGM or RT-CGM. The primary outcome: %TIR 70-180 mg/dL.

Study Arms (2)
isCGM
NO INTERVENTIONUsual Care + isCGM Group: Patients in this group will have the FreeStyle Libre 2 continuous interstitial glucose monitoring sensor (Abbott Diabetes Care Inc., Alameda, CA, USA) inserted. High glucose alarms (\>250 mg/dL) and low glucose alerts (\<70 mg/dL) will be programmed. They will also be instructed to perform at least eight scans daily to avoid data loss. All participants were instructed to replace their sensors according to the manufacturer's recommendations: every 15 days for isCGM.
RT-CGM
EXPERIMENTAL• Usual care + TR-CGM group: Patients in this group will undergo insertion of a continuous interstitial glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor using the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus device and LibreLink app® (Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc., Alameda, CA, USA). The sensor will be programmed with high glucose alarms (\>250 mg/dL) and low glucose alerts (\<70 mg/dL). All participants will be instructed to replace their sensor according to the manufacturer's recommendations: every 15 days for TR-CGM.
Interventions
• Usual care + TR-CGM group: Patients in this group will undergo insertion of a continuous interstitial glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor using the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus device and LibreLink app® (Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc., Alameda, CA, USA). The sensor will be programmed with high glucose alarms (\>250 mg/dL) and low glucose alerts (\<70 mg/dL). All participants will be instructed to replace their sensor according to the manufacturer's recommendations: every 15 days for TR-CGM.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Minimum age of 35 years.
- HbA1c \>7.0%
- Treatment with one or more insulin injections.
- Stable medication regimen for the 3 months prior to study entry.
- Insulin treatment for ≥3 months with a stable dose prior to entry, with fasting blood glucose between 70 and 130 mg/dL.
- Availability of an NFC-enabled smartphone.
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnancy or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
- History of bariatric surgery within the year prior to study entry or plans to undergo bariatric surgery during the study.
- Having a condition that would likely require an MRI during the study period.
- Use of medications containing high doses of ascorbic acid (\>2000 mg/day), as it may falsely increase sensor readings.
- Concomitant illness or condition that may compromise patient safety, including, but not limited to, serious mental illness, a diagnosed or suspected eating disorder, or any long-term medical/unmanageable disorder.
- GFR less than 30 ml/min.
- Psychiatric condition that interferes with study-related tasks.
- Known (or suspected) significant allergy to medical-grade adhesives.
