Using a continuous glucose monitor to help young adults manage type 2 diabetes.

Official title: CAPAZ-2D: Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Augment and Personalize Self-Management of Type 2 Diabetes in Hispanic/Latinx Young Adults

Run by San Diego State University · NCT07065721 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This 30-day program gives young adults with type 2 diabetes a wearable continuous glucose monitor to try and see if real-time glucose data helps them notice patterns and manage their blood sugar and daily habits.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are 18–45 years old, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within the past five years, have no prior wearable CGM experience, own a compatible smartphone, and are fluent in English or Spanish.

Probably not a fit

People with long-standing diabetes beyond five years, prior CGM experience, no compatible smartphone, pregnancy or recent postpartum status, or severe mental illness are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this pilot.

What this trial studies

This community-engaged, mixed-methods pilot enrolls young adults (ages 18-45) with recent-onset type 2 diabetes to wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for 30 days. The study collects quantitative data from the CGM and linked behavioral trackers (for example, step counts and dietary logs) alongside surveys of self-management behaviors. After the wear period, researchers conduct qualitative interviews to identify barriers and facilitators to CGM use and participants' changes in awareness of glucose patterns. Findings will inform the design of a CGM-based self-management intervention tailored to young adults.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could help young adults better recognize glucose patterns, improve daily diabetes self-care, and reduce average blood glucose levels.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in adults with type 2 diabetes have shown CGMs can improve glycemic awareness and some outcomes, but using CGMs specifically in young adults with integrated behavioral data and qualitative input is relatively novel.
