Integrating intermittent Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) with culturally-informed kaiāwhina support and optimized clinical care significantly reduces HbA1c levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes compared to usual care.
For patients with Type 2 Diabetes who struggle with standard care, combining continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with culturally tailored support (kaiāwhina) and optimized medical management can significantly improve blood sugar control. This approach addresses both the technical aspect of glucose tracking and the social/cultural barriers to care.
This study aims to explore the use of a new kaiāwhina (cultural support worker)-based model of T2D healthcare delivery, with and without the use of CGM, as models of care that can be implemented long-term into primary care.
