Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether the short-term use of professional continuous glucose monitoring (Pro-CGM) at the Parkland Diabetes Clinic in selected patients with poorly-controlled diabetes due to hyper- and/or hypoglycemia leads to improvements in patients' glycemic control within 3-6 months, subjective understanding of how food, activity, and medications affect blood sugar levels, and diabetes self-care practices. The study will be a prospective cohort study that assesses patients glycemic control and diabetes self-care practices before and 3-6 months after utilization of a Pro-CGM for 10 days. Glycemic control and diabetes self-care practices will be assessed based on hemoglobin A1c measurements and glucose data download from glucometer and Pro-CGM. A short survey will be administered at the end of the 10 days Pro-CGM use to assess whether the Pro-CGM use had a positive impact on patients' understanding of how different activities affect their blood sugar and diabetes self-care practices.

Parkland Diabetes Clinic serves an ethnically diverse, low socioeconomic patient population, the majority of whom do not have access to diabetes technology like continuous glucose monitoring. CGM measures sugar levels every 5 to 15 minutes and have been shown in clinical studies to improve glycemic control. Establishing a professional CGM program at the clinic will provide short-term access to this technology. One of the main reason for conducting this study is to determine if Pro-CGM would be a useful intervention to integrate into the clinic's routine practice in the future.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Professional CGM Trial

Participants will be asked to wear Dexcom Professional Continuous Glucose Monitoring (Pro-CGM) Device for 10 days. They will have 2 clinic visits with a certified diabetes care and education specialist (CDCES): initial visit for placement of the Pro-CGM and final visit to review the data with CDCES and their diabetes clinic provider. They will be asked to complete a short survey at the end of the 10 days about their experience using the Pro-CGM device and how it impacts their diabetes self-care practices.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dexcom Professional Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Intervention Type DEVICE

Patient will be asked to wear the Dexcom Pro-CGM device (small device that can be applied to either the arm or abdomen) for 10 days. They will have 30 minutes initial visit with CDCES to apply the device and review its use and 60 minute final session to review the blood sugar data from the CGM with CDCES and diabetes clinic provider.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria
