Summary

This trial will research shared decision-making in diabetes & Alzheimer's care, then create an interactive tool to help people manage diabetes better.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with both diabetes and Alzheimer's or related dementias who have not used a continuous glucose monitoring device before. They need to be under the care of certain healthcare professionals, have internet access, speak English, and live in the community with a caregiver who interacts with them daily.
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand how patients with dementia and diabetes make decisions together with their caregivers using a continuous glucose monitor. It also seeks to create a tool that helps improve decision-making about managing diabetes.
What are the potential side effects?
While this trial does not involve medication that could cause typical side effects, participants may experience skin irritation from the adhesive on the glucose monitoring device or other minor discomforts associated with wearing it.
