What is this study?
The goal of this 52 week prospective study is to learn whether a Diabetes Care Management Program using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and remotely monitoring (RPM) glucose readings can help improve glucose levels and diabetes related distress in individuals with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. The CGM and RPM are used as an adjunct to usual care.
It is , overseen by an independent and licensed medical staff.
Read the full clinical description
The goal of this 52 week prospective study is to learn whether a Diabetes Care Management Program using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and remotely monitoring (RPM) glucose readings can help improve glucose levels and diabetes related distress in individuals with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. The CGM and RPM are used as an adjunct to usual care. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does use of CGM \& RPM improve A1c? Does use of CGM \& RPM improve the percent of time spent with glucose levels between 70-180 mg/dl? Does the diabetes care management program improve diabetes related distress? Participants enrolled in the study will be wearing a CGM. Participants will be able to see the glucose readings from the CGM and see how their glucose level responds to food, physical activity, medications and daily life. The diabetes primary care team will be remotely monitoring the participant's glucose data from the CGM. They will reach out to the participant to make adjustments in treatment regimen as needed. Participants will answer a "Problem Areas in Diabetes"questionnaire that asks questions about diabetes related distress.

What you need to know before you apply
What is this study testing?+
The goal of this 52 week prospective study is to learn whether a Diabetes Care Management Program using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and remotely monitoring (RPM) glucose readings can help improve glucose levels and diabetes related distress in individuals with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. The CGM and RPM are used as an adjunct to usual care.
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.
Some requirements (like specific lab values or timing) are confirmed directly by the study team, not by us.
