Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 2 to 6 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

To be eligible for the study, a child must meet the following criteria:

  1. Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes according to American Diabetes Association diagnostic criteria
  2. Time since diagnosis of at least six months
  3. Age between 2 and 6 years at enrollment
  4. Parental consent to participate in the study
  5. No severe medical conditions, which in the opinion of the investigators are likely to hinder participation in this clinical trial.
  6. If current use of CGM, A1c has to be above 7.5%; value obtained within 3 months of enrollment
  7. Own and use an iPhone, or be willing/able to carry a study-supplied wi-fi enabled iPod

To be eligible for the study, a parent must meet the following criteria:

  1. Parent or legal guardian of a child with type 1 diabetes meeting the "child" criteria outlined above
  2. Age of 18.0 years or older
  3. Parent comprehends written English
  4. Parent understands the study protocol and signs the informed consent document
  5. Parent has access to a personal computer to upload diabetes devices and send to research team

The presence of any of the following is an exclusion for the study:

  1. Child has a medical disorder that in the judgment of the investigator will interfere with completion of any aspect of the protocol (e.g., pregnancy, kidney disease, adrenal insufficiency, skin condition that may hinder sensor application).
  2. Child has a neurologic disorder that in the judgment of the investigator will affect completion of the protocol

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time spent in blood glucose range

    Increasingly it is recognized that the percent time spent in a target blood glucose range, which is set by the American Diabetes Association, is an important outcome. This measure will be used as a primary outcome and derived from objective data downloads.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

  2. Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory

    This is a measure of health-related quality of life. It is used to understand the broader impact on quality of life which includes social, psychological, and health aspects of daily living.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

Secondary outcomes (10)

  1. A1c

    The hemoglobin A1c value is a biologic measure of the glycemia that is the gold standard measure of "control" of diabetes. Collected through a blood sample.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

  2. Problem Areas in Diabetes

    This measure captures areas that are reported as problems for people with diabetes. Participants in the study report on daily problems with diabetes via this measure.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

  3. Diabetes Distress Scale

    This measure is widely used to capture the psychological distress experienced in relation to diabetes.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

  4. Patient Health Questionnaire 9

    This is a widely used measure that captures depressive symptoms. It is reported by the participants.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

  5. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory

    This is a widely used measure of anxiety symptoms. It is reported by the participant.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

  6. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

    This questionnaire measures the degree to which sleep is disrupted and the quality of sleep experienced by participants.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

  7. Hypoglycemic Fear Survey

    People with diabetes worry about hypoglycemia. This measure captures those worries and is reported by participants.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

  8. Hypoglycemic Confidence Questionnaire

    Hypoglycemia needs to be managed in various daily situations. This questionnaire captures confidence of the participants in those various situations.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

  9. Glucose Monitoring System Satisfaction Survey

    This a measure used to capture overall satisfaction with glucose monitoring devices used by participants.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

  10. General and diabetes-specific technology use

    This measure has questions on attitudes and use of various general technologies (e.g., smartphone) and diabetes devices.

    Measured: Change over 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Developmental Demands, Distress Reduction and Remote Monitoring in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Stanford University at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time spent in blood glucose range (time frame: Change over 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02848261.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Nov 2019.
