What this trial studies

This study evaluates a behavioral treatment program that combines diabetes coaching, financial rewards, and continuous glucose monitoring to enhance diabetes management in adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which receives the behavioral treatment, or a control group. All participants will use a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to track their blood sugar levels, with the intervention group receiving contingency management rewards based on their adherence to treatment. The goal is to determine if this approach improves blood sugar management and adherence to diabetes treatment plans.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 65 diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and having a recent hemoglobin A1c level between 8.0 and 11.0.

Not a fit: Patients with type 1 diabetes, secondary diabetes, or those with certain psychiatric conditions may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve blood sugar control and treatment adherence for patients with type 2 diabetes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using behavioral interventions and continuous glucose monitoring for diabetes management, indicating potential success for this approach.
