Type 2 Diabetes Glucose Biomarker Study With a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

Klick Inc.150 enrolled

Overview

Current gold standard methodologies for diagnosing type 2 diabetes (T2D) or prediabetes can be unreliable and inaccurate, and require the need for multiple different tests for comparison. It is possible that a simpler and more refined method of diagnosing T2D or prediabetes involves examining the proportional-integral (PI) control system of the body's glycemic function (i.e., a model of the glucose curve). The purpose of this research is to examine how well a PI model can diagnose nondiabetic, prediabetic, or diabetic patients based on glucose data gathered from a wearable glucose monitoring device.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Glucose biomarker data from the continuous glucose monitoring device, which will be analyzed as a function of different homeostasis responses from the 3 different cohorts of individuals (i.e., i) low to moderate risk; ii) high risk, iii) very high risk).

Continuous glucose data from the FreeStyle Libre device will be collected from each individual and analyzed for differences in glucose responses (i.e., "ups" and "downs") across the different study groups.

Time frame: The device is worn for 14 days on each participant
