Preventing diabetes in Hispanic adults using glucose monitors
The Impact of Social Determinates of Health on Risk for Diabetes in the Hispanic Community: a Pilot Study
This study is testing whether using glucose monitors can help Hispanic adults at risk for diabetes understand how their daily habits and stress affect their blood sugar levels to prevent the disease.

What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the impact of environmental stress on daily glucose changes in Hispanic adults at risk for diabetes and to develop an intervention using constant glucose monitors (CGM) to reduce diabetes risk. By utilizing CGM, participants can gain insights into how various factors such as food, activities, and emotions affect their glucose levels. The intervention will be nurse-led and delivered asynchronously to accommodate participants' time constraints. The ultimate goal is to inform policies regarding social determinants of health and improve diabetes prevention strategies in the Hispanic community.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are Hispanic adults with a family history of type 2 diabetes.
Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant or have type 1 diabetes will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly reduce the risk of diabetes in Hispanic adults by providing personalized insights and interventions.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with similar approaches using constant glucose monitoring to improve diabetes management, making this intervention a promising avenue for diabetes prevention.
