General Characteristics of Participants in a 12-Week Diabetes Management Pilot Study

South Korea was the location for a 12-week, single-arm pilot feasibility study across 11 community pharmacies. The dataset contains general characteristics for 30 adults with suboptimally controlled type 2 diabetes who participated in a program using continuous glucose monitoring integrated with digital health platforms. Author Kyung-In Joung published the data on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze participant demographics and baseline characteristics for a diabetes management intervention.
• Study associations between participant features and clinical outcomes like HbA1c reduction.
• Model predictors of glycemic response based on variables like diabetes duration mentioned in the study.
• Assess the feasibility of community pharmacy-led care models using participant enrollment and completion data.

Strengths

• Data originates from a structured 12-week clinical pilot study with a defined protocol.
• Includes results for 30 participants with a 100% completion rate.
• Clinical outcomes such as HbA1c and time-in-range are quantitatively reported.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope and feature depth.
• Data may reflect geographic and selection bias inherent to a single study in South Korea.
