Learning to use continuous glucose monitoring in diabetes education
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study helps older adults with diabetes learn how to use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a small device that tracks blood sugar levels in real time. You'll get education and support to manage your diabetes better, and you may have a care partner join you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 65 years or older
- You get care at a UNC Health or UNC Physicians Network clinic, within 90 miles of Chapel Hill, NC

- You have not used a continuous glucose monitor in the past year
- You are comfortable using a smartphone app (or willing to use a loaner phone if needed)
- You can speak English fluently
- You don't have dementia, are not on dialysis, and don't have severe vision or hearing problems

This trial tests if using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks your sugar levels without fingersticks) helps young adults manage type 2 diabetes better. You will wear the sensor and use a phone app to track your glucose.
This trial tests if using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) helps older adults with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin to better control their blood sugar. The results will show if CGM is a helpful tool for managing diabetes without daily shots.
This study tests how to better help people with diabetes use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)—a device that tracks blood sugar throughout the day. Researchers will work with primary care clinics to improve how patients learn about and use CGM devices.
This study tests a new way to diagnose diabetes in older adults by using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) — a small sensor worn on the arm — to get a more accurate picture of blood sugar than the standard A1c test alone. If you qualify, you'll wear the sensor for about 48 days, and the results may help your doctor know whether you truly have diabetes.
This study tests if a personalized education program, supported by continuous glucose monitor (CGM) wear, can help adults with type 2 diabetes improve their blood sugar control. Participants will receive extra training and a CGM device to see how food, activity, and medications affect their glucose levels in real time.
This study looks at how people with diabetes feel about using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and their blood sugar readings. It aims to learn what works best for patients and healthcare providers to improve diabetes care.
