Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to learn about the impact of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on families with newly diagnosed children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The investigators hope to learn about how continuous glucose monitoring affects glycemic variables and diabetes-related distress.
Detailed description
Synopsis of study protocol This pilot randomized clinical trial compares newly diagnosed T1D youth who are started on CGM (the intervention group) versus those who are not (the control group). The investigators will examine group differences over a 6-month period (Phase 1) on two sets of outcomes: psychosocial variables and glycemic variables. After the initial comparison of intervention to control across the first six months after diagnosis, the investigators will conduct a longitudinal follow-up (Phase 2) of glycemic and psychosocial variables for an additional 18 months. The CGM system used in this study is the Dexcom G5 System with the Share function (FDA Approved). An IDE was obtained to use this system in a non-adjunctive manner. Participants will complete Phase 1 in six months. Phase 2 includes 3 more assessments conducted every six months until participants are two years post-diagnosis. Study Procedures Participants will be recruited at two centers: Stanford University and the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, University of Colorado. Participants will be enrolled while inpatient or within 1 month of diagnosis. Once identified, study staff will approach potential participants to explain the study, determine eligibility, and obtain informed consent. Once enrolled in the study, participants will be randomized. Participants will be randomized at a 2:1 ratio, intervention to control. The investigators will also stratify by age group to ensure equal representation of ages across groups. The age groups (in years) are 2-6, 7-11, and 12-17. To ensure safety in the youngest group, recruitment of participants in the age 2-6 years group will not begin until the investigators have at least 2 weeks of non-adjunctive CGM use data in at least 3 participants aged 7-17 years. Data will be reviewed by the DSMB on these 3 participants and if deemed safe by the DSMB, the investigators will start enrolling participants in the youngest age group.

Current use of oral glucocorticoids or other medications, which in the judgment of the investigator would be a contraindication to participation in the study 4.
