A Study Comparing Continuous Glucose Monitoring Augmented Nutritional Counseling and Standard of Care Treatment Strategies in a Three-Month Nutrition Intervention

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Obesity & Overweight, Obese Adolescents, Metabolic Abnormalities

In brief

The objective of this project is to determine the feasibility of introducing CGMs to adolescent patients with obesity and pre-diabetes (Hemoglobin A1C: HbA1C between 5.7-6.5%) to determine whether their eating habits and subsequent glucose profiles are modified by the timely awareness of glucose excursions above the diabetes threshold of 200 mg/dl.
