Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and are beginning treatment with GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 medications.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not have type 2 diabetes or are not starting GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 therapy may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to determine if the FreeStyle Libre 3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (FSL3) can help individuals with type 2 diabetes maintain adherence to glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist therapies. Participants who are newly starting these medications will be randomized to either use the FSL3 system or continue with their standard diabetes management. The study will enroll up to 800 subjects across the United States, with a focus on evaluating the effectiveness of the FSL3 in prolonging adherence over approximately 210 days. Participants will wear a sensor on their upper arm and use a smartphone to monitor glucose levels throughout the study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance medication adherence in patients with diabetes, leading to better management of their condition.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using continuous glucose monitoring to improve diabetes management, suggesting this approach may be effective.
