Continuous glucose monitoring plus AI video coaching for adults with prediabetes
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in Prediabetes With Health Education Videos
This project will try combining a wearable continuous glucose monitor with daily AI-generated education videos to see if it helps adults with prediabetes improve their blood sugar over 20 days.

What this trial studies
This Phase 0 intervention development project will enroll 50 English- and/or Spanish-speaking adults aged 35 and older from Los Angeles County with non-clinical prediabetes confirmed by a finger-prick A1c or fasting glucose. Participants will wear a CGM device for 20 days, with glucose data masked for the first 10 days and unmasked for the next 10 days. During the unmasked phase participants will receive daily short health-education videos generated by AI on their smartphones, and the study will compare the duration of glucose excursions between masked and unmasked phases. Recruitment is community-based through the Southern California Center for Latino Health and outcomes will focus on short-term glucose regulation and feasibility.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults aged 35 or older in Los Angeles County with prediabetes (finger-prick A1c or fasting glucose) who can wear a CGM, use a compatible smartphone, and read English or Spanish are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People with diagnosed diabetes, pregnancy, medical conditions that affect glucose, incompatible smartphones, prior participation in CGM studies, or planned travel outside California during the study are unlikely to benefit.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could help people with prediabetes reduce glucose spikes and slow or prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous pilot work has shown CGM feedback can change behavior and reduce post-meal glucose in at-risk individuals, but pairing CGM with daily AI-generated education videos is relatively novel and not widely tested.
