Real-time Engagement for Learning to Effectively Control Type 2 Diabetes
Sponsor: University of Pittsburgh
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new smartphone app that pairs glucose and exercise data will help adolescents and young adults with type 2 diabetes improve glycemic control. It will also study how changes in glycemic control are maintained over time. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does using the app help with short-term glycemic control? * Does using the app help with longer-term glycemic control? * Does using the app help increase physical activity? Participants will: * Wear a continuous glucose monitoring device for 6 months * Wear a physical activity tracker for 6 months * Use the study smartphone app for 6 months * Complete 3 in-person study visits with fasting blood draws * Report dietary intake intermittently throughout the study

Interventions
Focused App Prompt
Prompts are designed to develop knowledge and self-efficacy in diabetes-related health behaviors (capability). The paired glycemic and behavior data will provide the opportunity to reflect and to plan diet or exercise for the following day (self-reflective motivation).
No App Prompt
No app prompts are designed to assess whether health behaviors are affected without being prompted to reflect and change those behaviors related to glycemic control.
