Official title
Randomized Control Trial Evaluating the Impact of CGM Academy Education Curriculum Versus Standard Care on Glycemic Outcomes for Youth With Type 1 Diabetes
About this study
Youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at increased risk for kidney failure, vision loss, heart disease, and premature mortality due to challenges with glycemic excursions. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems represent an important advance in diabetes technology with significant advantages over self-monitored blood glucose and the potential to optimize glycemic management. Despite these advances, youth with T1D, including patients at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), fail to achieve recommended glycemic targets, highlighting the opportunity for testing innovative diabetes education programs aimed at increased technology uptake such as the CGM Academy intervention.
