About this trial

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a technology that helps individuals with diabetes track their sugar levels in real-time, leading to more in-range blood sugars, fewer episodes of dangerously low blood sugar, and improved quality of life. Despite these benefits, CGM is not widely used in primary care settings, where most people receive their diabetes care. The investigators aim to make CGM more accessible and equitably prescribed in primary care practices. The study team will support primary care to increase CGM use with a program called SPARK-CGM (Supporting Primary Care Adoption, Resources, and Knowledge for CGM) across a large network of primary care clinics at Montefiore Medical Center. This program will provide primary care providers (PCPs) with education, tools, and support to incorporate CGM into their routine care for people with diabetes. Investigators plan to test SPARK-CGM to evaluate whether it increases CGM prescriptions who are eligible to receive this technology.
