Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the Impact of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Academy Education Curriculum Versus Standard Care on Glycemic Outcomes for Youth With Type 2 Diabetes (T2D):
- The first aim is to determine how feasible it is to adapt the Continuous Glucose Monitoring Academy curriculum to teach youth with T2D glucose management strategies.
- The second aim is to evaluate the effects of the Continuous Glucose Monitoring Academy metrics.
- The third aim is to explore the relationships between these metrics with diabetes distress, diabetes family responsibilities, and process metrics.
Participants will join for a total of four weeks of education, followed by a six-month clinical review. They will have access to an online workbook and videos, and will participate in virtual sessions with a diabetes educator who will cover glucose management strategies in-depth. Participants will wear their preferred Continuous Glucose Monitoring system (Dexcom or FreeStyle Libre) provided via insurance and inserted at the baseline visit.
