About the study

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new smartphone app that pairs glucose and exercise data will help adolescents and young adults with type 2 diabetes improve glycemic control. It will also study how changes in glycemic control are maintained over time. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does using the app help with short-term glycemic control? * Does using the app help with longer-term glycemic control? * Does using the app help increase physical activity?

Participants will:

* Wear a continuous glucose monitoring device for 6 months * Wear a physical activity tracker for 6 months * Use the study smartphone app for 6 months * Complete 3 in-person study visits with fasting blood draws * Report dietary intake intermittently throughout the study
