About this study
Official title: Supporting Primary Care Adoption, Resources, and Knowledge for Continuous Glucose Monitoring
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.
Read the detailed description
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has been shown to reduce HbA1c levels, hypoglycemia, and improve quality of life, representing a powerful tool to improve population-level outcomes in diabetes. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends CGM for all individuals with any type of diabetes on insulin, but its widespread adoption into primary care remains low.
SPARK-CGM (Supporting Primary care Adoption, Resources, and Knowledge for CGM) is a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial evaluating a multifaceted practice transformation package designed to increase new continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) prescriptions among adult patients with diabetes treated wtih insulin. This includes: (1) strengthening clinic capacity by streamlining CGM prescribing pathways; (2) optimizing pharmacy and insurance authorization workflows to reduce administrative burden; (3) providing prescriber-focused training on CGM workflows, data access, and interpretation to support effective clinical use; (4) training nursing and support staff to facilitate device initiation, patient education, and data management; and (5) delivering regular performance feedback on prescribing rates across clinics and providers.
The effectiveness component will be evaluated using a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial in which primary care clinic clusters sequentially transition from usual care to the SPARK-CGM implementation intervention over the study period until all clinics receive the intervention. The implementation component will include mixed-methods evaluation using surveys and semi-structured interviews with patients, providers and clinic staff to assess implementation outcomes.
Based on pre-implementation clinic counts, the stepped-wedge trial will include 14 non-pilot primary care clinics. The investigators expect to include up to approximately 20,000 adult patients with insulin-treated diabetes who may contribute data to the effectiveness analysis (Aim 1) during the study period . For implementation evaluation and semi-structured interviews (Aim 2), investigators plan to recruit up to 40 adults with insulin-treated diabetes (10 per cluster) and 15-20 clinicians or clinic staff participants (4-5 per cluster) in order to reach thematic saturation.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Enhanced CGM InterventionsOther
The study intervention involves creating a streamlined workflow for CGM prescribing that does not restrict the treatment options available to patients or clinicians. SPARK-CGM implementation strategy includes three core practice transformations: (1) building clinic infrastructure by establishing CGM prescription workflows, and by training clinic staff to place CGM devices at the point of care, (2) provider training on accessing and using CGM data effectively in practice, and (3) regular feedback on prescription rates across the network.
Standard of CareOther
Usual care
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Implementation Phase | Experimental | Clinics will sequentially transition from the usual care (control) condition to the intervention phase at three-month intervals until all clusters receive the intervention.
The active implementation phase at each cluster will span six months, providing sufficient time to equip clinics to use CGM. The intervention includes development of clinic workflows for CGM prescribing and onboarding, provider education on CGM use and interpretation, training of clinic staff to support CGM initiation, and regular performance feedback on CGM prescribing rates. Receives: Other: Enhanced CGM Interventions |
| Pre-implementation phase | Active comparator | Patients in pre-implementation practices will receive the usual care under the direction of their primary care provider and practice. Receives: Other: Standard of Care |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to first CGM prescription by primary care provider
Time to first CGM prescription initiated by a primary care provider (PCP) will be defined as the date from a patient's first eligible primary care encounter during the study period to the date of the first CGM prescription, up to 18 months following intervention initiation, as recorded in the electronic health record. All CGM orders are captured in the EHR. Results will be summarized by study arm using descriptive statistics and analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models.
Measured: Up to 18 months following initiation of intervention

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
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.
Detailed description
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has been shown to reduce HbA1c levels, hypoglycemia, and improve quality of life, representing a powerful tool to improve population-level outcomes in diabetes. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends CGM for all individuals with any type of diabetes on insulin, but its widespread adoption into primary care remains low.
SPARK-CGM (Supporting Primary care Adoption, Resources, and Knowledge for CGM) is a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial evaluating a multifaceted practice transformation package designed to increase new continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) prescriptions among adult patients with diabetes treated wtih insulin. This includes: (1) strengthening clinic capacity by streamlining CGM prescribing pathways; (2) optimizing pharmacy and insurance authorization workflows to reduce administrative burden; (3) providing prescriber-focused training on CGM workflows, data access, and interpretation to support effective clinical use; (4) training nursing and support staff to facilitate device initiation, patient education, and data management; and (5) delivering regular performance feedback on prescribing rates across clinics and providers.
The effectiveness component will be evaluated using a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial in which primary care clinic clusters sequentially transition from usual care to the SPARK-CGM implementation intervention over the study period until all clinics receive the intervention. The implementation component will include mixed-methods evaluation using surveys and semi-structured interviews with patients, providers and clinic staff to assess implementation outcomes.
Based on pre-implementation clinic counts, the stepped-wedge trial will include 14 non-pilot primary care clinics. The investigators expect to include up to approximately 20,000 adult patients with insulin-treated diabetes who may contribute data to the effectiveness analysis (Aim 1) during the study period . For implementation evaluation and semi-structured interviews (Aim 2), investigators plan to recruit up to 40 adults with insulin-treated diabetes (10 per cluster) and 15-20 clinicians or clinic staff participants (4-5 per cluster) in order to reach thematic saturation.

- Individual participant dataSharing planned: Yes. The data sharing plan includes the following: In Specific Aim 1, valuable SPARK-CGM efficacy data may be of interest to other diabetes, health equity and primary care researchers. In Specific Aim 2, in-depth qualitative data of PCP and patients with diabetes may be of interest to investigators who want to apply similar interventions to new populations. Information on analytic methods will be shared with other collaborators, including providing statistical code and process logs that could be used to either confirm our results or apply similar statistical methods to related projects. Additional resources developed during this project, such as study protocols, educational materials for primary care providers, will be shared upon request or made available through appropriate channels
