Trial of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Technology in Persons Living With Prediabetes
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Summary
Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) technology has become increasingly prevalent in the population and has the ability to transform care of patients living with prediabetes. While the technology was initially utilized primarily by patients living with type 1 diabetes using insulin pump therapy, it has become more widely used as part of care in patients living with type 1 or 2 diabetes on any kind of insulin therapy.
Description
Additional investigation is strongly needed to further evaluate the health impacts of CGM technology in persons living with prediabetes. This study is looking to study the impact that CGM technology could have on glycemic control in patients with prediabetes, as well as secondary outcomes, such as blood pressure, weight, and patient insight into their condition and the effect on lifestyle interventions on glycemic control. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of CGM technology on glycemic control in patients with prediabetes, measured by the endpoints of A1c and CGM d…
