| description | OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The objective of the study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a remote glucose monitoring program for pregnant Marshallese women with pre-gestational (PGDM) or gestational diabetes (GDM) without excluding women with limited English proficiency. The study will explore changes in patient-physician communication and self-efficacy. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Twenty Marshallese pregnant women with PGDM or GDM will be identified for recruitment. The patient will meet with a bilingual staff member to explain the study and provide consent. At enrollment, patients will complete an enrollment survey and be provided with the iGlucose monitor and receive training its use. Their provider(s) will receive access to their patient’s online portal for monitoring. At 14 days postpartum patients will receive a post-intervention survey and invitation to participate in interview, and their provider(s) will receive a satisfaction survey for the remote monitoring program. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We hypothesize that the use of a remote glucose monitoring intervention is feasible and acceptable for Marshallese women with PGDM or GDM. Further, we hypothesize that the remote glucose monitoring program will increase satisfaction with physician-patient communication and will increase self-efficacy with glucose management. We anticipate that providers will find the program feasible and acceptable for use with the Marshallese population. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: RPM technology can transform the way PGDM and GDM are managed. RPM may have greater benefits when there is a lack of language concordance by providing more time for patient-provider communication, thereby improving patient satisfaction and decreasing the risk of negative outcomes for Marshallese women. |
