The effect of education in obese type 2 diabetes adolescents and young adults based on continuous glucose monitoring and smartwatch-derived lifelog data.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) is a major public health concern worldwide. This pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of lifestyle education in managing T2D in obese AYAs using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and smartwatch-derived lifelog data.

Methods

Seven obese AYAs and T2D aged 12-19 years were enrolled in this prospective interventional study. Patients continued to take their previously prescribed T2D medication. CGM data were collected for 10 days, followed by lifestyle education using CGM and smartwatch data. Outcomes, including anthropometrics, glycemic control, dietary intake, physical activity, and self-management skills, were reassessed after an additional 10 days.
