The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) part-time works as well as wearing it full-time in adults with type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does wearing CGM part-time (2 weeks per month) control blood sugar as well as wearing it continuously?
* How do the two wearing patterns compare for blood sugar levels throughout the day, weight, blood pressure, and patient satisfaction?
Researchers will compare part-time CGM use to continuous CGM use to see if part-time use is just as effective for blood sugar control.
All participants will:
* Wear a CGM device continuously for 3 months to learn how their blood sugar responds to different foods and activities
* Then be randomly assigned to wear CGM either part-time (2 weeks each month) or continuously for another 3 months
* Replace the CGM sensor on their arm every 2 weeks
* Use a smartphone app to track their blood sugar readings
* Visit the clinic 3 times for blood tests and check-ups
* Receive education on adjusting diet based on their CGM readings
* Keep their current diabetes medications unchanged during the study
The study will last about 6 months total. Participants will use the FreeStyle Libre 2 CGM device, which is already approved for use in people with diabetes.
