Continuous Glucose Monitoring With a Low Carbohydrate Diet to Reduce Weight in Patients With Pre-Diabetes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Normal Diet, Low carb diet, and 3 other interventions for Pre-diabetes. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will recruit pre-diabetic patients to see if continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with a low carbohydrate diet can reduce the percentage of time the CGM readings are above the normal range. Through this study it will demonstrate the feasibility of using CGM with a low carbohydrate diet to reduce weight and risk of developing diabetes in patients with pre-diabetes. Patients that appear to be eligible will be recruited from Michigan Medicine in the Family Medicine Clinic at the Livonia Center.

Timeline
Interventions
Phase I (regular diet): all participants will eat their normal diet and will log their food.
Phase II (low carb diet): participants will be asked to eat a low carb diet and log their food
Phase I will collect CGM without real time feedback
Phase II participants will be asked to scan their sensor at least every eight hours and document their blood sugar before and two hours after eating as well as before breakfast and before going to bed.
Phase I: participants will be given the book Always Hungry and be asked to read chapters 1-5 after a health check phone call approximately 5 days after the sensor is placed. Phase II: participants will be taught about carbohydrates and the benefits and side effects. Additionally, they will be given multiple resources to assist them regarding carbohydrates as well as a book entitled "The Calorie King, Calories, Fat, and Carbohydrates."
