Type 2 Diabetes

Brief summary

The purpose of this pilot feasibility study is to provide continued CGM access to youth with type 2 diabetes and collect descriptive data about feasibility of use of CGM in youth with type 2 diabetes ages 4 years and older. From this study the investigators hope to learn if CGM use in youth with type 2 diabetes can be tolerated and sustained with good adherence and to describe blood glucose patterns in youth with type 2 diabetes. The primary aim will be to evaluate the feasibility of CGM start and continuation in youth with T2D and describe glucose metrics and patient reported outcomes (PROs). The investigators will pilot and refine a program to test the hypothesis that CGM start and continuation in youth with T2D is feasible and then evaluate glucose metrics and PROs.

Interventions

DEVICEContinuous Glucose Monitor

Participants will be provided a continuous glucose monitor for use in self-glucose monitoring as per standard clinical care

Participants and their parents will be asked to complete patient reported outcome questionnaires at 3 study time points.

PROMIS Global Health Overall Scale Scorebaseline, months 3 and 12PROMIS Global Health (7 questions, Minimum=1, maximum=5 for each question, higher score for physical health questions is better outcome, higher score for mental health is worse outcome). Scores for each question were summed then converted to a t-score (overall range 16 to 67.5, higher score = better health). A score of 50 is the average for the United States general population with a standard deviation of 10. A score below 22 in this study would result in a referral to social work or diabetes psychology.

Each item scored from 0 to 4, higher scores correspond to lower problems. Each item is reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale (0=100,1=75,2=50,3=25,4=0), higher scores correspond to lower problems. The overall score is calculated as the sum of the transformed scores for each item divided by the total number of items answered by participants to create an overall score range of 0 to 100, higher scores correspond to lower problems.
