Continuous Glucose Monitoring Education for Youth With Type 2 Diabetes

This study focuses on helping young people who have Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) better manage their blood sugar levels. It compares a new educational program, called the Continuous Glucose Monitoring Academy, with the usual care that these individuals receive. The aim is to see if this new program can effectively teach young people how to use continuous glucose monitoring systems to manage their diabetes. Understanding how this program might improve blood sugar control is important because better management of diabetes can lead to improved health outcomes and quality of life for those affected. Participants in this trial will engage in four weeks of educational activities, which include using an online workbook, watching videos, and attending virtual sessions with a diabetes educator. These sessions will focus on strategies for managing blood sugar levels. Over the course of the study, participants will use their preferred Continuous Glucose Monitoring system, such as Dexcom or FreeStyle Libre, which are covered by their insurance. The study will look at various outcomes, including the ease of implementing this education program, its impact on blood sugar levels, and how it influences factors like diabetes-related stress and family involvement in diabetes care.
