Participant Flow

There were a total of 33 active subjects recruited. 21 youth in the intervention arm and 12 in the control arm. Caregivers of the 21 youth randomized to the intervention arm were enrolled to provide caregiver feedback in the form of surveys on their impression of continuous glucose monitor use.

Measure
Control
Subjects in this arm will receive standard medical care for pre-diabetes. They will be provided with a Sworkit(R) account to monitor physical activity completed through the Sworkit(R) website/platform.
CGM + Traditional Counseling
Subjects in this arm will receive intermittent CGM to be used for 2-weeks each month for the 6-month study period. They will be required to wear a CGM during baseline, 3-month, and 6-month periods. Additional CGM sensors will be supplied for months 1, 2, 4, and 5 and will be optional. They will be provided with a Sworkit(R) account to monitor physical activity completed through the Sworkit(R) website/platform.
Caregivers of CGM+Traditional Counseling Group
Caregivers of those randomized to the intervention group were enrolled to give their feedback on the continuous glucose monitor via surveys at the 3-month and 6-month visits. Outside these surveys, there were no other inputs or interventions to this group.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: 0 Control subjects included in analysis as this primary outcome was CGM acceptability. Of the 17 participant/caregiver pairs in the treatment group who returned for the final visit, only 15 answered question about whether or not they wanted to continue to use the device. 16 caregivers and 17 participants answered the question about the device "being more trouble than it is worth"

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

The difference in measured percentage of glycosylated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c) was obtained by subtracting the 6-month value from the baseline value for all subjects with paired data available. A negative result indicates a reduction (improvement) in hemoglobin A1c over the period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) at baseline and 6-month were calculated. HOMA-IR = fasting glucose (mg/dL) x fasting insulin (uIU/mL) / 405. Lower values indicate greater insulin sensitivity with values \>2.5 consistent with insulin resistance. The difference in 6-month from baseline was determined for all with paired data available. A negative result indicates a reduction (improvement) in HOMA-IR over the period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: While 17 CGM+Traditional counseling and 8 control subjects returned for the final visit, only 13 and 4 had cholesterol panels obtained.

Changes in measured triglycerides, HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol were calculated for all subjects with paired data available. A negative result indicates a reduction (improvement) in triglycerides, LDL, and total cholesterol over the period. A negative result indicates a reduction (worsening) of HDL over the same study period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Alanine transferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured at baseline and 6-months. A negative result indicated a decrease (improvement) in the value. While 17 CGM+Treatment subjects returned for the final visit, only 14 had liver enzymes measured. While 8 control subjects returned for the final visit, only 6 had liver enzymes measured.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: While 22 were randomized to this arm, only 6 had CGM data available for Baseline and Final (6-month) visit. Data for these 6 are presented here.

CGM metrics collected included the percentage of time in the target range and percentage of time with glucose \>140mg/dL.
