Activity and glucose tracking to reduce sitting in older adults with type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study helps older adults with type 2 diabetes understand how their blood sugar and daily activity are connected. You'll wear devices that track your glucose (blood sugar) and movement, and the research team will use this information to help you sit less and move more.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 55 or older

- Able to speak and read English
- Willing to wear three devices: a glucose monitor on your skin, an activity tracker on your thigh, and a Fitbit
- No dementia or severe heart, lung, or joint problems that would make movement difficult
- Have not used a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)—a sensor that tracks blood sugar—for a month or more in the past year

This study looks at your usual 24-hour movement pattern (like being active, sitting, and sleeping). It may help researchers better understand daily behavior patterns in people with type 2 diabetes.
This study tests a way to help older adults with type 2 diabetes who use insulin avoid dangerously low blood sugar. You would use a continuous glucose monitor and get support via email or internet to stay safe.
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 looks at how daily movement (like sitting, standing, and walking) affects blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help you understand your own activity patterns and how they relate to your diabetes management.
This study tests whether using a smartphone app and a wearable device (like a fitness tracker), along with artificial intelligence (AI), can help people with type 2 diabetes better manage their condition and prevent complications. You would need to provide lifestyle information and use the devices for 3 months.
This study tests whether a program to improve sleep and reduce sitting time can help people with type 2 diabetes. It combines cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia with tips to move more during the day.
