Pilot RCT: FQHC Intervention for Uptake of CGM in Low-Income Adults With T1D

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Type 1 Diabetes

In brief

Low-income adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), despite their disproportionate burden of acute complications (hypoglycemia and diabetes ketoacidosis) and related emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and death, remain largely disenfranchised from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), an efficacious technology to mitigate these inequities. To increase CGM uptake in low-income, adults with T1D receiving diabetes management in federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), this pilot randomized control trial (RCT), will assess the feasibility of our study protocol, including our multi-level intervention informed by the Socio-Ecological Model.
