Implication

Randomized trial evaluates sustained glycemic improvement in adults with diabetes, suggesting a scalable intervention model.

Key Points

This study aims to determine if continuous monitoring can improve glycemic outcomes in diabetes care within resource-limited settings.
Retrospective pre-post analyses conducted on monthly cohorts of adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes from October 2023 to September 2024.
Baseline and follow-up HbA1c values captured through an EHR report at 7 and 13 months.
Paired t-tests assessed significance of HbA1c reductions, with individual-level trajectories guiding outreach interventions.
Mean baseline HbA1c ranged from 7.5% to 9.5%, with reductions of 0.6% to 2.4% at 7 months (p<0.05).
At 13 months, reductions of 0.8% to 2.3% were sustained in most cohorts, with combined mean reductions of 1.4% at 7 months and 1.5% at 13 months (both p<0.0001).
Subjects receiving guided follow-up actions showed HbA1c improvement at 13 months (52.6%) compared to those who did not (10.0%).
