Helping Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Use Their Health Data for Healthy Diabetes Self-Management
Sponsor: Ann-Marie Rosland
Summary
Day-to-day self-management by adults with type 2 diabetes, including glucose monitoring, taking medications, and healthy habits, is essential to avoid diabetes complications, yet, despite the rapidly expanding availability of wearable glucose and activity monitors, successful self-management remains challenging for many. This research aims to develop and test an approach to help adults use their personal diabetes information from wearable devices to achieve and sustain health diabetes self-management, which will reduce diabetes complications, and improve health and quality of life for people with type 2 diabetes.

Interventions
MPowerHub
The MPowerHub app allows participants to visualize combined trends from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and activity monitor as well as daily self-reports in a display that the participant can customize to overlay the behavioral data they would like to compare to intraday and daily glucose data. Summary data will be displayed over time to allow users to identify potential associations between activity, sleep, stress, diet, and medication adherence and time-in-range and blood glucose variability. Participants receive daily prompts to complete five brief questions about daily health behaviors and two weekly goals/action plans and reflections based on motivational interviewing principles.
Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)
A CGM is a wearable device that collects frequent data on glucose levels. It includes an integrated sensor that is inserted under the skin and is connected to a small transmitter that automatically sends information to a smart device, allowing the user to track changes in glucose levels.
Activity Monitor
A wearable activity monitor will be used to track activity (e.g., steps) and sleep levels. Data can be viewed on the activity monitor or a smart device.
