Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Pre-diabetes | Device: G6 |
In addition, lifestyle and treatment already established for prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes such as:
- Sleep
- Exercise/Physical activity/or lack of it
- Heart rate
- Five hours OGTT- 6 subjects in each group that have C-Peptide positive lab result at screening and consent to the OGTT (Appendix 3) This data will address the sources and nature of blood glucose variability across the progression of PD and T2D. The data collected in this study will enable investigation into CGM-data artifacts that speak to the state and management of PD and T2D. Possible applications enabled by these data sets include: compliance with drug regimens and other lifestyle recommendations, drug titration and/or escalation/de-escalation, and diagnosis and/or treatment throughout the progression of the disease.

OGTT will be performed on 6 subjects per group that have a lab result with positive c-peptide. Having a smartphone compatible with Dexcom G6 CGM, activity tracker & e-Diary. (This could be provided by the study team if the qualified subject does not have smartphone compatible with apps. For users that do not use their personal smartphones for data collection purposes, the T2Help study will provide a commercially available smartphone. The smartphones will be modified so they are only capable of hosting and running the study applications required for data collection (Fitbit, Welldoc, G6). The modified smartphones will not be able to execute standard smartphone functionality such as internet browsing, texting, or making phone calls. Bluetooth functionality will remain intact as it is required for the approved applications to collect data.)
