GO TEAM: Glucose Optimization Through Technology Assisted Management

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes
Interventions
Other: Glucosano
Behavioral: Community Health Worker diabetes technology coach
Registration Number
NCT06074458
Lead Sponsor
Sarah MacLeish
Brief Summary

Black/African American children and young adults with type 1 diabetes are less likely to use diabetes technologies, such as continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, and automated insulin delivery systems, compared to White children and young adults. The investigators are working to find ways to make sure that all patients with type 1 diabetes are equally able to use these technologies. The purpose of this study is to find out if a new computer program for the diabetes team, along with a smartphone app (called Glucosano) for patients/parents, as well as a community health worker, are accepted and used by Black/African American patients and parents living with type 1 diabetes, and if this can help decrease racial disparities in the use of diabetes technologies.
