Diabet MedPublished qualitative study

Authors' conclusion

Pro-CGM has the potential to improve engagement in diabetes self management and health outcomes among people with T2D. Consideration of Pro-CGM-related resource needs for people with T2D, including facilitation of clinical support, is required to optimise the engagement with and sustain behavioural change for people with T2D.

Study context

Population
Adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the intervention group of a trial of quarterly professional-mode continuous glucose monitoring (Pro-CGM), six primary care clinics in Victoria, Australiaindividuals who took part
Participants
22 adults
Outcome
Experiences of Pro-CGM monitoring and consultation
Methodological detailsnested within a pragmatic, 12-month randomised controlled trial of quarterly Pro-CGM in primary care, purposively recruited from the intervention group, abductive analytic approach, framed in Self-Determination Theory (SDT)
  • Nested within a pragmatic, 12-month randomised controlled trial of quarterly Pro-CGM in primary care
  • Purposively recruited from the intervention group
  • Abductive analytic approach
  • Framed in Self-Determination Theory (SDT)

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Pro-CGM monitoring and consultation experiences both satisfied and frustrated individual needs
  • Impacts on motivation and behaviour change were influenced by the degree to which support needs were met by clinicians and individual differences (e.g. regulatory orientation, preferences)
