After 2 weeks, individual interviews will be conducted in 20 participants (10 dyads). Older adults with T2D-MCI (n=10) and their care partners (n=10) will be interviewed separately to identify key features of the Care Partner-Assisted Intervention through linking continuous glucose monitoring and Mobile Health (CP-CGMH) app.
