The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the Impact of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Academy Education Curriculum Versus Standard Care on Glycemic Outcomes for Youth With Type 2 Diabetes (T2D): * The first aim is to determine how feasible it is to adapt the Continuous Glucose Monitoring Academy curriculum to teach youth with T2D glucose management strategies. * The second aim is to evaluate the effects of the Continuous Glucose Monitoring Academy metrics. * The third aim is to explore the relationships between these metrics with diabetes distress, diabetes family responsibilities, and process metrics. Participants will join for a total of four weeks of education, followed by a six-month clinical review. They will have access to an online workbook and videos, and will participate in virtual sessions with a diabetes educator who will cover glucose management strategies in-depth. Participants will wear their preferred Continuous Glucose Monitoring system (Dexcom or FreeStyle Libre) provided via insurance and inserted at the baseline visit.

What is this study testing?+
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the Impact of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Academy Education Curriculum Versus Standard Care on Glycemic Outcomes for Youth With Type 2 Diabetes (T2D): * The first aim is to determine how feasible it is to adapt the Continuous Glucose Monitoring Academy curriculum to teach youth with T2D glucose management strategies. * The second aim is to evaluate the effects of the Continuous Glucose Monitoring Academy metrics.
Is it safe? Who makes sure of that?+
This is a research study. Every study is reviewed and monitored by an independent ethics board (called an IRB) whose job is to protect participants, and care is overseen by licensed medical staff. You'll be told the known risks before you agree to anything, and you can stop at any time.
Will I get a placebo instead of the real treatment?+
Some studies compare a treatment against a placebo (an inactive version), and some don't. If this one does, the study team will explain your chances of receiving the active treatment before you decide. Nothing is hidden from you.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications?+
It depends on the study. Some let you stay on your current medications and some ask you to adjust them. Never stop a medication on your own — the study team will review everything with you first.
Does it cost anything? Will I be paid?+
Study-related care is provided at no cost to you. Some studies also pay for your time; the coordinator can tell you if this one does. You should never be asked to pay to take part.
Do I need insurance? Will anyone ask about my immigration status?+
No. You do not need health insurance to take part in a research study, and you will not be asked about your immigration status to join. Taking part is about whether you're a medical fit for the study.
What if English isn't my first language?+
You have the right to understand everything before you agree. Study sites can often provide materials or an interpreter in your language — you can ask the coordinator for one.
Is my information private?+
Yes. Your health information is only shared with the study sites you choose to be contacted by, and only to help match and enroll you. It is never sold, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
