Read our Type 2 Diabetes research guide →This study is exploring whether real-time data from wearable devices, glucose monitors, and home air quality sensors can help doctors personalize diabetes care for people living in under-resourced urban communities. Researchers will collect information from your continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks blood sugar), a fitness wristband, and an indoor air quality monitor in your home. The goal is to understand how your environment—including air quality and daily activity—affects your diabetes, so that care can be tailored specifically to you.
Many people with diabetes living in certain neighborhoods face barriers to good health care and may have worse outcomes. This study aims to use new sensor technology to gather personalized information about each person's daily life and environment, which could lead to better, more targeted ways to help manage diabetes.

You would visit the clinic twice over about three weeks. At your first visit, researchers will place a glucose monitor on your skin (it stays on for 10 days and painlessly measures your blood sugar throughout the day), give you a fitness wristband to wear, and set up an air quality sensor in your home. You'll return after 10 days for the second glucose monitor to be placed. Throughout the study, you'll receive text reminders and can request virtual check-ins if needed. At the end, you'll mail back the devices or return them during a clinic visit.
