Brief summary

The purpose of the qualitative research is to provide a deeper understanding of the perspectives of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who received a nutrition-focused approach (NFA) when initiating continuous glucose monitor (CGM).

Detailed description

The purpose of the qualitative research is to provide a deeper understanding of the perspectives of people with T2D who received the NFA when initiating CGM. A single 30-minute semi-structured interview will be conducted in approximately 15 people who have completed participation in the A21-292 study (also called the My Diabetes Study). The My Diabetes Study, is a randomized clinical trial to assess the impact of using a NFA or a self-directed approach during CGM initiation. The NFA was developed specifically for the randomized clinical trial study.

Interventions

OTHERSemi-structured interviews using an IRB-approved interview guide

A single, semi-structured interview will be conducted using an IRB-approved interview guide. The interviews will be approximately 30 minutes total.
