Group Intervention + CGM for Prediabetes
(CGM Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study is being done to find better ways to help people with prediabetes prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. It is often silent, but without changes in diet and activity, many people progress to a diagnosis of diabetes within a few years.
The study combines two strategies:
1. Group visits - small, regular meetings where patients learn about healthy eating, physical activity, and stress management.
2. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) - small wearable sensors that measure blood sugar all day and show how food, movement, and sleep affect it in real time.
By bringing these two tools together, the research hopes to help participants better understand their own bodies and make lasting lifestyle changes.
What is the purpose of this research?
The purpose of this research is to find out whether using a CGM device together with group sessions can help people with prediabetes lower their average blood sugar (measured by A1C) and improve confidence in managing their health.

Timeline for a Trial Participant
Screening
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial
Treatment
Participants engage in group sessions and use CGMs for behavioral feedback. Group sessions occur twice in month 1 and monthly thereafter, covering nutrition, movement, stress, sleep, and habit formation.
CGM Monitoring
Participants use CGMs during weeks 3-6 and 13-14 or 13-16 to receive real-time feedback on lifestyle choices and glycemic responses.
Follow-up
Participants are monitored for improvements in clinical outcomes such as fasting glucose, HbA1c, and weight compared to baseline measures.

Experimental Treatment
The intervention combines group sessions and CGM-based behavioral feedback. Group sessions will occur twice in month 1 and monthly thereafter at the SHSU clinic and will cover nutrition, movement, stress, sleep and habit formation. Study investigators will prepare and coordinate each meeting; additional presenters include a nutritionist, an exercise specialist (activity planning), and a behavioral health clinician. Participants will be using CGMs during the weeks 3-6 and 13-14 or 13-16.
