A Randomized Clinical Trial of a Culturally Tailored Diabetes Education Curriculum With and Without Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring in a Latino Population With Type 2 Diabetes: The CUT-DM With Continuous Glucose Monitoring Study
Authors' conclusion
In a Latino type 2 diabetes population that was primarily noninsulin-requiring, virtually delivered, culturally tailored education improved HbA1c, with RT-CGM conferring greater improvement.
Study context
- Population
- Latinos with uncontrolled (HbA1c >8.0%) T2D, not on intensive insulin management, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC); mean age 46 years, 44% female, 68% uninsured, 26% basal insulin onlyrandomized 1:1
- Participants
- 120 participants
- Comparison
- Culturally tailored education plus cyclic rtCGM vs education only
- Primary endpoint
- Change in HbA1c from baseline
- Follow-up
- 12 weeks
Methodological detailsopen-label, single-centre (Federally Qualified Health Center), Mean 1-hour session attendance 7.0 (±4.4); mean real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) wear 27.9 (±20.5) days

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
HbA1c reduction
P = 0.04
Secondary outcomes
HbA1c reduction, overall · 12 weeks
- Overall HbA1c reduction 1.9% (95% CI 1.5-2.3), P < .001
HbA1c · 24 weeks
- Overall HbA1c reduction maintained but between-group differences attenuated
