Are you living with type 2 diabetes? Would you like more support with healthy eating and glucose management? Check out the Care-T2D Study.
This study is led by researchers from Mary MacKillop Institute for Health Research, ACU. Together, we’re investigating how support from a dietitian, with or without continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), can improve self-care, glucose management, and wellbeing among people with type 2 diabetes.
Healthy eating and glucose monitoring are two important aspects of type 2 diabetes self-care. But many people with type 2 diabetes are unable to access support from dietetic services or act on advice. This project will explore the effects dietary education (provided by a dietitian), with or without continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), on glycaemic management over a 6-month period.
