FREE CGMFreeStyle Libre Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Evaluation in Youth with Type 2 Diabetes

This study is exploring the use of a new technology called the FreeStyle Libre Continuous Glucose Monitoring System for young people with Type 2 diabetes. The main goal is to see how well this system can help in managing blood sugar levels compared to traditional methods. The study is important because better monitoring of blood sugar can help reduce complications and improve quality of life for young people living with diabetes. Participants will initially wear a "blinded" glucose sensor for 14 days to gather baseline data without seeing the results themselves. After the initial 14 days, participants are randomly placed into one of two groups. One group will use the FreeStyle Libre 3 system, which includes a sensor worn on the skin and a mobile app that shows blood sugar levels. The other group will continue their usual practice of checking blood sugar with a glucometer. Participants in the first group will receive education on using the system and interpreting the data to make lifestyle changes. Both groups will have regular check-ins with their diabetes care team and participate in educational sessions. The study lasts six months, with some participants invited to share their experiences in a discussion group at the end. This feedback will help researchers understand the benefits and challenges of using such technology.
