Glucose and Activity Tracking for Sedentary Behavior Interventions in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an explanatory mixed-methods study led by the University of Minnesota that examines how older adults with long-standing type 2 diabetes integrate CGM and activity metrics into self-management. Participants will engage with CGM, activPAL, and Fitbit devices to monitor glucose and activity patterns and to guide sedentary-behavior interventions. The study will collect qualitative and quantitative data to understand feasibility, acceptability, and potential effects on sedentary behavior and glucose outcomes. Recruitment is limited to English-speaking adults aged 55 and older with at least 5 years of diagnosed T2D who are willing to wear the devices. Individuals with type 1 diabetes, dementia, and certain mobility or severe medical conditions are excluded to protect safety and data integrity.
