About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether a smartphone app that links blood sugar and exercise data helps teens and young adults with type 2 diabetes. It will look at blood sugar control over time and changes in physical activity. Participants will use the app and wear blood sugar and activity trackers for 6 months.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new smartphone app that pairs glucose and exercise data will help adolescents and young adults with type 2 diabetes improve glycemic control. It will also study how changes in glycemic control are maintained over time. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does using the app help with short-term glycemic control? * Does using the app help with longer-term glycemic control? * Does using the app help increase physical activity? Participants will: * Wear a continuous glucose monitoring device for 6 months * Wear a physical activity tracker for 6 months * Use the study smartphone app for 6 months * Complete 3 in-person study visits with fasting blood draws * Report dietary intake intermittently throughout the study

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Have type 2 diabetes, with negative tests for diabetes autoantibodies (immune proteins linked to other types of diabetes).
  • Have no signs that suggest diabetes caused by a change in a single gene.
  • Speak English, since the app is in English.

Who can't join

  • Are currently pregnant.
  • Take hydroxyurea, a medicine that can make the blood sugar sensor less accurate.
  • Have problems with thinking or a severe mental health condition that could make it hard to take part in learning diabetes self-care.
  • Have an eating disorder now or were diagnosed with one in the past.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * type 2 diabetes: negative diabetes autoantibodies, no suspicion for monogenic diabetes * English-speaking (app in English) Exclusion Criteria: * Current pregnancy * Hydroxyurea use (CGM sensor inaccuracies) * Cognitive impairment or severe psychiatric condition that could interfere with participation in behavioral intervention for diabetes self-management * Current or previously diagnosed eating disorder
