Remote glucose monitoring to help rural pregnant women with Type 2 diabetes

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This project focuses on women with type 2 diabetes who live in rural parts of the U.S. and receive care in a high-risk pregnancy clinic. It tests the feasibility of using remote patient monitoring to track glucose levels, support adherence, and integrate data into prenatal visits. The study will look at how often the monitoring is used, whether clinicians adopt it, and how faithfully it is implemented, with a goal of sustaining RPM in real-world care. By exploring preliminary signals of effectiveness, the team hopes to lay groundwork for broader improvements in rural maternal health.
