Nutrition counseling with a glucose monitor for teens at risk for diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks sugar levels continuously) along with nutritional counseling helps teens who are overweight or at risk for type 2 diabetes make healthier food choices. If your child joins, they will wear a small sensor and get extra support to improve their diet and lower their risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
