REFLECT2D Trial Summary

This trial aims to see if using a smartphone app that provides real-time data on blood sugar levels and health behaviors can help adolescents and young adults with type 2 diabetes better control their blood sugar. Participants

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adolescents and young adults with Type 2 Diabetes who are interested in managing their blood sugar levels using technology. Participants should be comfortable using a smartphone app, a Fitbit activity tracker, and Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM). Specific eligibility criteria were not provided.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if an app that prompts users to check real-time blood sugar and health behavior data helps control Type 2 Diabetes better. Half will get these prompts; the other half won't. Everyone's monitored for 90 days then observed for another 90 without prompts.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive technology like apps and trackers rather than medication, typical medical side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety from constant health monitoring.
