研究概览
简要总结
The study aim is to determine if parent mentors can improve adherence to the intensive multiple daily injection regimen (MDI) or the insulin pump therapy, through monitoring the frequency of blood glucose measurements. Researchers are also trying to determine if the parent mentors can improve glycemic control, which is measured through HbA1c. The study hypothesis is that trained parent mentors can help families with children who have poorly controlled T1DM improve adherence to their diabetes regimen and improve their metabolic control.
详细描述
The study aim is to determine if parent mentors can improve adherence to the intensive multiple daily injection regimen (MDI) or the insulin pump therapy, through monitoring the frequency of blood glucose measurements. Researchers are also trying to determine if the parent mentors can improve glycemic control, which is measured through HbA1c. Diabetic knowledge, responsibility for diabetes care, degree of diabetes related family conflicts, and major complications of diabetes will also be collected during the patient's routine clinic visit. The study hypothesis is that trained parent mentors can help families with children who have poorly controlled T1DM improve adherence to their diabetes regimen and improve their metabolic control.

研究组 & 干预措施
Parent Mentors and Intervention Group
Parent mentors are parents from our UC Davis Pediatrics Endocrinology clinic who have met our parent mentor inclusion criteria; the intervention group are families in our clinic who have met our mentee family inclusion criteria
干预措施: Parent mentors (Other)
Control Group with no Parent Mentors
The control group is made up of families at our UC Davis Pediatrics Endocrinology clinic who have met the mentee family inclusion criteria but are not matched with a parent mentor
