Summary

This study is being done to see if using technology, with the help of a Patient Navigator, can help address disparities, improve outcomes, and promote healthcare equity in type 1 diabetes.

Detailed description

Patients with T1D require an individualized care plan with ongoing education and support. A recent qualitative study of young adults with T1D and end-stage renal disease revealed that childhood environment, education, socio-economic status, and other determinants contributed to disengagement from treatment regimens and the development of microvascular complications early in life1. Providing participants with real-time CGMS will inform daily decision making. This is an interventional study using prescribed real-time CGMS together with feedback and support from a Patient Navigator in patients with T1D. The aims of this study include the following. Aim 1: To incorporate real-time CGMS and patient navigation support into the care of adolescent and adult patients with T1D and one of the following: 1.) two or more hospitalizations for DKA in the last five years or 2.) two or more hemoglobin A1c values over 10% in the last two years. Aim 2: To collect information from participants regarding health outcomes, experiences with health care, and changes, if any, in diabetes self-management practices, diabetes distress, and diabetes health-related quality of life.
