Pharmacist-led Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Recruiting
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Interventions
Device: FreeStyle Libre 2 Continuous Glucose Monitor
Registration Number
NCT06572306
Lead Sponsor
University of South Florida
Brief Summary

This is a pilot study. The goal of this prospective cohort study is to determine impact of pharmacist-led continuous glucose monitoring on glycemic control and health behavior change in people with type 2 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. to assess change in hemoglobin A1c in people with type 2 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring under a pharmacist-led approach as compared to a pharmacist-led approach utilizing no continuous glucose monitoring (only self-monitoring blood glucose with a glucometer).

2. to assess change in continuous glucose monitoring-derived glycemic outcomes among the pharmacist-led continuous glucose monitoring cohort (intervention group)

3. to assess change in health behavior among the pharmacist-led continuous glucose monitoring cohort (intervention group)

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Continuous glucose monitoring cohort (intervention)FreeStyle Libre 2 Continuous Glucose MonitorFreestyle libre 2 sensor devices will be used to monitor glucose. The sensors are worn on the upper arm and changed every 14 days. Each subject will have 5 visits with a pharmacist over 12 weeks. Subjects meeting inclusion criteria will include adults ≥18 years of age with type 2 diabetes and a hemoglobin A1c ≥ 8%. Subjects must have a compatible smartphone with the freestyle libre 2 sensor system. Subjects must have access to a glucometer to check blood glucose. Subjects must not have worn a continuous glucose monitor in the last 6 months to be eligible.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in hemoglobin A1cBaseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Between-group difference in change in hemoglobin A1c at 12 weeks, %, compared between intervention and historical cohort

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hemoglobin A1c <7%Baseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in the number of subjects achieving hemoglobin A1c \< 7% at 12 weeks compared between intervention and historical cohort

Time in RangeBaseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in the time in range (70-180 mg/dL) at 12 weeks, %, compared within the intervention cohort

Mean Sensor GlucoseBaseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in mean sensor glucose concentration at 12 weeks, mg/dL, compared within the intervention cohort

Time Below RangeBaseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in time below range (\< 54mg/dL and \< 70 mg/dL) at 12 weeks, %, compared within the intervention cohort

Time Above RangeBaseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in time above range (\> 180 mg/dL and \> 250 mg/dL) at 12 weeks, %, compared within the intervention cohort

Time in Range Increase 5%Baseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in the number of subjects increasing 5% or more in time in range (70-180 mg/dL) at 12 weeks, compared within the intervention cohort

Time in Range Increase 10%Baseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in the number of subjects increasing 10% or more in time in range (70-180 mg/dL) at 12 weeks, compared within the intervention cohort

Hemoglobin A1c <8%Baseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in the number of subjects achieving hemoglobin A1c \< 8% at 12 weeks compared between intervention and historical cohort

Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities MeasureBaseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Measure at 12 weeks, compared within the intervention group. Scored on an 8-point likert scale (0-7). Higher scores indicate better compliance with diabetes self-care, whereas a lower score indicate poor self-care performance.

Glycemic VariabilityBaseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in glycemic variability (standard deviation, and Coefficient of variance) at 12 weeks, compared within the intervention cohort

>70% Time in RangeBaseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in the number of subjects achieving \> 70% time in range (70-180 mg/dL) at 12 weeks, compared within the intervention cohort

Continuous Glucose Monitoring Survey ResponsesBaseline to End of Study (12 weeks)

Change in survey responses at 12 weeks, compared within the intervention group
