About this study

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.

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Parent mentorsOther

    Parent mentors are to meet up with their assigned intervention group 4 times in 1 year and call the families monthly to document any diabetic complications

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Parent Mentors and Intervention GroupExperimentalParent 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
Receives: Other: Parent mentors
Control Group with no Parent MentorsNo interventionThe 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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Parent mentors in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by University of California, Davis at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. 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?

Daily frequency of blood glucose monitoring (BGM) (time frame: up to 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Jun 2019.
