Background Food choices play a significant role in achieving glycemic goals and optimizing overall health for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can provide comprehensive look at the impact of foods other behaviors on real time over course time. The using nutrition-focused approach (NFA) when initiating CGM T2D is unknown. Objective This study aims to understand perspectives who participated an NFA during initiation. Methods Semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted UNITE (Using Nutrition Improve Time Range) participants. was 2-session intervention designed introduce initiate do not use insulin. included initiation materials that emphasized continuous monitor as tool guide evidence-based food choices. support conversation between user care provider conducting sessions. A rapid matrix analysis answer two main questions: (1) How participate describe this experience? (2) data make food-related decisions, what changes they make? Results Overall, 15 completed after completion intervention: 87% (n=13) identified White, 60% (n=9) male, mean age 64 (SD 7.4) years, duration 7.5 3.8) hemoglobin A1c level 7.5% 0.4%). Participants fluently discussed metrics such range (percent 70-180 mg/dL) reported regularly real-time retrospective data. liked simplicity (eg, images messaging), which demonstrated how learn suggested adjust improved glycemia. impacted thought about food, most participants made because seeing these Many aligned guidance healthy lifestyle, including prioritizing nonstarchy vegetables, reducing added sugar, or walking more; however, some behavior changes, skipping delaying meals stay target range. few amplified negative feelings eating. Conclusions agreed pairing nutrition information instructions helpful their care. In general, well received led positive 2-month intervention.
