Glucose monitoring and wearables for diabetes prevention
This research study wants to see if wearable devices and glucose monitors can help prevent diabetes in people at risk. If you're overweight and over 45 but haven't been diagnosed with diabetes, this might be a chance to learn about your health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether helpful reminders on your phone can help you stick to logging meals in an app. It's designed for adults over 45 with overweight who want to improve their eating habits.
This study tests whether wearing a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor on your skin that tracks your blood sugar) can help people with prediabetes and obesity better control their blood sugar and lose weight. You will be asked to wear the device for several days to see how your glucose levels change throughout the day.
This study tests whether a wearable glucose monitor plus a smartphone app can give personalized diet tips. You wear a small sensor for 14 days, log your meals, and take photos of what you eat.
This study is for people who are at high risk for developing diabetes. It will follow you over time to learn how to prevent it, using your smartphone to help track your health.
This study tests a wearable device that may measure blood sugar without needles. It could help people manage their diet and health more easily.
This study tracks how blood sugar levels change in people with prediabetes (higher-than-normal blood sugar but not yet diabetes). Researchers will use a small sensor to monitor your blood sugar and help understand what affects it, which could help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
