Description of intervention(s) / exposure
BEHAVIORAL - Dietetic support
Treatment: Devices - Continuous glucose monitoring

Active comparator: Dietetic support only - This group is designed to act as a comparator using 'standard care' in dietetics practice. Dietary advice provided to this participant group will be performed by Accredited Practicing Dietitians (APDs) in line with evidence-based guidelines, specifically the T2DM best-practice guidelines plus Australian Dietary Guidelines (i.e. Australian Guide to Healthy Eating) to improve diet quality, and strategies to promote adherence.

Experimental: CGM plus dietetic support - The CGM plus dietetic support group will be provided 'standard care' dietetic support alongside the use, and interpretation of, the CGM data collected to assist in the understanding of dietary modifications on glucose management. As per the DIET group, dietary advice provided to this participant group will be performed by Accredited Practicing Dietitians (APDs) in line with evidence-based guidelines, specifically the T2DM best-practice guidelines plus Australian Dietary Guidelines (i.e. Australian Guide to Healthy Eating) to improve diet quality, and strategies to promote adherence. The CGM data collected via LibreLink will be used by both the participant and the dietitian to inform dietary modifications.
