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.

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
