Summary
This trial studies how a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help obese children lower their risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) & other complications like hypertension & dyslipidemias. It's hypothesized that real-time glucose data will help improve adherence to lifestyle modifications, leading to better BMI & insulin sensitivity.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for overweight or obese children aged 10 to less than 17 with impaired glucose tolerance but not diagnosed with diabetes. They must be in puberty and willing to wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Those on medications affecting insulin sensitivity or unwilling to comply are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests if using a CGM device helps these young patients stick better to lifestyle changes, potentially leading to weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity, reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related complications.
What are the potential side effects?
While the use of CGM itself isn't associated with significant side effects, there may be minor skin irritation where the device attaches. The lifestyle changes could include increased physical activity and dietary adjustments.
