Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Feasibility assessed during the study period using study records: 1. How well the recruitment strategy works in practice measured using the number of participants referred 2. What percentage of eligible participants are recruited for the study measured using the number of participants that are recruited compared to the number referred 3. Time to first and last recruitment measured using the length it takes to recruit the 20 participants 4. Attrition rate measured using the number of participants that do not complete the study after starting it 5. Adherence to the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device – For example how much data is lost when the receiver is out of range - measured by the percentage of CGM captured during the 10-day monitoring period The recruitment strategy and protocol will be deemed a success if the following are met: 1. At least 30% of eligible participants recruited to the study 2. No more than a 10% attrition rate 3. At least 70% adherence to CGM	—
