Summary

"This trial aims to see if training healthcare professionals increases the number of continuous glucose monitor prescriptions for Type 2 Diabetes patients in a Hispanic/Latino community health center. They will also study if using a

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthcare professionals at clinics serving a predominantly Hispanic/Latino population, with the goal of increasing continuous glucose monitor (CGM) prescriptions for patients with Type 2 Diabetes. Patients participating must have Type 2 Diabetes and be attending these clinics.

What is being tested?

The study tests if training healthcare providers on CGM guidelines and insurance eligibility can boost CGM prescription rates. It also examines whether having a CGM affects diabetes control in patients, measured by Hemoglobin A1c levels.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on professional training rather than direct medical interventions, there are no traditional side effects involved. However, patient surveys will assess any barriers or difficulties encountered when using prescribed CGMs.

Active Control

Group I: Healthcare Prescribers Exposed to CGM Prescriber Toolkit TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants in this arm will include qualified healthcare prescribers (MDs, DOs, PAs, NPs, etc.) and staff who treat patients with Type 2 diabetes in primary care settings who will receive in depth training using a study-developed prescriber toolkit. The toolkit covers important information including current clinical practice guidelines, eligibility criteria, provider documentation requirements and scripts for discussing CGM use with their patient population. The impact of the training will be evaluated by examining changes in CGM prescription rates for patients with Type 2 diabetes seen in primary care before and after the training is delivered. Secondarily, Participants will be surveyed pre- and post-training to elicit prescribing knowledge and attitudes towards CGM use.

Group II: Healthcare Prescribers Not Exposed to CGM Prescriber Toolkit TrainingActive Control1 Intervention

Participants in this arm are prescribers (MDs, DOs, PAs, NPs, etc.) and staff who will NOT receive in depth training using a study-developed prescriber toolkit.
