Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Aid Weight Loss in Prediabetes
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether intermittent use of continuous
glucose monitor will facilitate weight loss in individuals who are overweight/obese with
prediabetes.
glucose monitor will facilitate weight loss in individuals who are overweight/obese with
prediabetes.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has revolutionized the treatment of patients on intensive
insulin therapy and its utility can also be harnessed to help individuals with prediabetes
make healthful lifestyle changes. Successful weight loss requires adherence to lower
calories, regular exercise, and self-monitoring. This proposal will test the hypothesis that
intermittent CGM will facilitate all of these components for successful weight loss by
functioning as a continuous self-monitor and guiding healthful food choices and physical
activity.
