Diabetes in African Youth: Improving Glucose Time-In-Range (DAY Time) Randomized Clinical Trial.
REFNo: HS2129ES
Primary Study Objectives
1. To determine if patient ability to continuously observe plasma glucose levels for 6 months using a flash intermittently scanned CGM improves glucose TIR compared to baseline. The change in glucose TIR while wearing the unblinded CGM will be compared to change in TIR in patients performing 3x/day SMBG (wearing a blinded CGM for endpoint measurement).
2. To perform a cost analysis on flash glucose monitoring compared to 3x/day SMBG, to determine whether this technology is cost effective in the setting of a low-resource nation.
Secondary Objectives: To assess the change-from-baseline impact of unblinded CGM on:
1. Percent time-in-range at 12 months
2. Percent time with glucose 180-250, >250, <70, and <54 mg/dl at 6 and 12 months
3. HbA1c at 6 and 12 months
4. Patient satisfaction and quality of life at 6 and 12 months
5. Glucose variability (coefficient of variation, CV) at 6 and 12 months

Performance evaluation of the CheckNOW™ HIV Self-Test study
REFNo: HS2170ES
1. To evaluate the performance (Sensitivity and specificity) of the CheckNOW™ HIV SELF TEST when compared to the Genscreen ULTRA HIV1/2 Ag/Ab EIA followed by the Murex diasorin HIV1/2 Ag/Ab combination (reference testing) in the laboratory and the national testing algorithm.
2. To describe the clinical performance (sensitivity and specificity) of the CheckNOW™ HIV SELF TEST, as obtained by the professional users, when compared to the reference testing and the national testing algorithm.
3. To describe the clinical performance (sensitivity and specificity) of the CheckNOW™ HIV SELF TEST, as obtained by the lay users, when compared to the reference testing and the national testing algorithm.
4. To assess the accuracy of the lay user interpretation of the HIVST result. This will be compared with the interpretation by the RA.
5. To assess the usability of the CheckNOW™ HIV SELF TEST. The usability of the test will be evaluated by questionnaires completed by the study staff observers and by the lay users.
