CGM - Reimagine Primary Care
- Conditions
- Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
- Registration Number
- NCT04413578
- Lead Sponsor
- Intermountain Health Care, Inc.
- Brief Summary
To assess the impact of continuous glucose monitoring versus standard of care (e.g. a finger-prick protocol using a glucometer) on clinical outcomes, healthcare utilization, and cost in patients with type I or II diabetes treated within the Reimagine Primary Care clinics.
- Detailed Description
This is a parallel randomized controlled trial. Eligible patients who consent will be randomized to one of two groups: (1) the intervention group who will be given a Dexcom G6 for CGM, or (2) the control group who will follow their current standard finger-prick protocol via a provided Contour Next ONE glucometer. The CGM group must download the Dexcom G6 and Clarity mobile apps for data capture, whereas the standard of care group will use the Contour Next mobile app for their respective readings.
The Dexcom G6 captures real-time, dynamic glucose data every five minutes. Devices used in this study are FDA approved and commercially available.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method HbA1c Variation 6 months Coefficient of variation in HbA1c levels before, during and end of study completion.
HbA1c Range 6 months Variation of range in HbA1c levels before, during and end of study completion.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Glycemic Variability 6 months Glycemic variability per mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE)
Emergency Room Visits 6 months Emergency department visits per 1000 rate, overall and for patients with diabetes, and hospitalization per 1000 rate related to.
Healthcare Cost 6 months Cost per patient of healthcare for Emergency Room visits, blood draws, inpatient/outpatient services, medications etc.
Current Diabetes Standards 6 months Current HEDIS performance on diabetes and behavioral health measures.
Behavioral Changes 6 months Subjects will complete a self reported survey related to behavioral changes at end of study to assess self empowered behavioral changes after using the devices (e.g. feeling more empowered to self-manage care, engaged with changing healthcare behaviors, and patient perceptions of the technology).
Hypoglycemic Events 6 months Frequency of hypoglycemic events during the study.
Healthcare Utilization 6 months Healthcare utilization per count of inpatient/outpatient visits.
