Effectiveness of an Individualized Diabetes Health Education Program Using Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Improving Blood Glucose: A Pilot Interventional Study on Subjects with Prediabetes.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: While lifestyle modification remains fundamental for prediabetes management, the potential added value of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) in diabetes health education programs warrants investigation. This study evaluated whether an individualized diabetes health education program using RT-CGM could improve glycemic control compared to general dietary guidance in prediabetic individuals. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial conducted at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (initiated September 2022), we enrolled 41 adults (>18 years) with prediabetes, randomly assigning them to either: (1) RT-CGM group (n=20) receiving meal adjustments based on continuous glucose data and energy balance, or (2) control group (n=21) receiving adjustments based solely on energy balance. The study comprised two intensive 14-day education sessions (baseline and 1-year follow-up) with metabolic assessments (HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, BMI, lipid profile, and uric acid) conducted at baseline, 1-year, and 2-year timepoints. Results: The RT-CGM group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in HbA1c compared to controls at both 1-year (p=0.007) and 2-year (p=0.033) follow-ups. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that incorporating RT-CGM into diabetes health education program can enhance glycemic control in prediabetic individuals compared to general dietary guidance alone. These results support the potential clinical utility of RT-CGM in prediabetes management strategies.
