About this study

Official title: A Pilot of ONBOARD: OvercomiNg Barriers & Obstacles to Adopting Diabetes Devices for Adults With T1D

This study will create a comprehensive, multicomponent behavioral intervention package (ONBOARD; OvercomiNg Barriers \& Obstacles to Adopting Diabetes Devices). ONBOARD will provide adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) the skills to maximize benefit and minimize daily interference from barriers associated with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and increase readiness for closed loop.

Read the detailed description

The proposed research will create and refine the ONBOARD intervention for CGM use. Participants will be tracked using metrics of A1c, time in glucose target range, number of days using CGM, blood glucose (BG) downloads, diabetes problem solving, diabetes distress, and technology attitudes. The investigators will examine whether ONBOARD leads to improved diabetes and psychosocial outcomes and sustained CGM use. At the end of this study, the investigators will have created and refined a comprehensive, multicomponent intervention package to promote increased and sustained uptake of CGM and increase readiness for closed loop adoption.

What participants receive

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

  • ONBOARDBehavioural

    Session 1: Overview; Overcoming Physical Barriers (experiential wear) Session 2: Managing CGM data (cognitive restructuring) Session 3: Social barriers (problem solving) Session 4: Trust in CGM (motivational interviewing, review of prior sessions)

Study groups in NCT04161131
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ONBOARD InterventionExperimentalONBOARD consists of four 60-minute sessions over 3 months. Each session will target a key barrier to CGM use: physical, data, social, and trust. Sessions will be delivered individually to participants by a doctoral level psychologist with diabetes expertise. Each session will include relevant first-person digital stories told adults to with T1D, recounting how they managed relevant CGM barriers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

    Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Measured: baseline, month 3

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Number of Participants Who Withdraw or Are Lost to Followup Over the Course of the Study

    The number of participants who withdraw or are lost to followup over the course of the study is used as a measure of attrition

    Measured: Duration of study participation (up to three months)

  2. Number of Eligible Individuals Who Agree to Participate in the Study

    Number of eligible individuals who agree to participate in the study out of all those approached during recruitment

    Measured: During screening visit (up to 50 minutes)

  3. Satisfaction With Intervention Survey

    Participant-rated Satisfaction Survey: Individual question scores are presented, each was measured on a Likert scale (0-4), higher scores mean more satisfaction.

    Measured: Month 3

  4. Percentage of Time in Range of Continuous Glucose Monitor Values Between 70 and 180 mg/dL

    Baseline and 3-month followup continuous glucose monitor values for percent time spent between 70-180mg/dl

    Measured: two weeks prior to starting intervention and two weeks after the intervention (average approximately 3 months)

  5. Diabetes Distress Scale for Type 1 Diabetes

    Unabbreviated Scale Title: Diabetes Distress Scale for Type 1 Diabetes (T1-DDS) is a 28-item self-report scale that highlights seven critical dimensions of distress: powerlessness, management distress, hypoglycemia distress, negative social perceptions, eating distress, physician distress, and friends/family distress. A total score is calculated using the mean of all item scores. Subscale scores are calculated using the means of specific items for each subscale.

    Min Value: 1 Max Value: 6 Higher scores mean worse outcome/more distress

    Measured: baseline, month 3

  6. Glucose Monitoring System Satisfaction Survey (GMSS-T1D)

    Scale title "Glucose Monitoring System Satisfaction Survey - Type 1 Diabetes" Min:1 Max:5 Higher mean scores mean worse outcome

    Measured: baseline, month 3

  7. Percentage of CGM Data Downloaded and Available for Analysis

    Baseline and 3-month follow-up percentage of continuous glucose monitoring values using data available from device for use in analyses.

    Measured: two weeks prior to starting intervention and two weeks after the intervention (average approximately 3 months)

  8. Mean Glucose Level

    Mean glucose level from continuous glucose monitoring data at baseline and month 3

    Measured: baseline, month 3

  9. Barriers to Diabetes Device Use Survey

    Title: Barriers to Diabetes Device Use is a 19-item list of barriers to diabetes device use. Participants can select between 0 and 19 barriers. Examples of barriers are: cost, insurance, lack of family support, lack of support from the diabetes care team, and not liking devices on the body.

    Min: 0 Max: 19 higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Measured: baseline, month 3

  10. Diabetes Technology Attitudes Survey

    Title: Diabetes Technology Attitudes Survey, a 6-item survey that asks about general attitudes about the role diabetes technology in one's life and the extent to which someone finds technology helpful for managing diabetes.

    Min: 1 Max: 5 Mean Score, higher score means better outcome

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3

  11. Fear of Hypoglycemia - Worry Survey

    Scale Title: Hypoglycemia Fear Survey II - Worry Subscale is an 18-item subscale that presents a list of concerns people with diabetes sometimes have about low blood sugar. Respondents answer based on their level of worry about each item for the past 6 months. A total score is calculated by summing individual item scores.

    Min: 0 Max: 4 Higher score indicates worse outcome

    Measured: baseline, month 3

  12. Hypoglycemia Confidence Scale

    Title: Hypoglycemia Confidence Scale is a 9-item scale that asks about how confident the respondent is in managing problems with hypoglycemia in a range of situations. A total score is calculated using the mean of all item scores.

    Min: 1 Max: 4 Higher score means better outcome/more confidence

    Measured: baseline, month 3

  13. Technology Use For Diabetes Problem Solving Scale

    Scale: Technology Use For Diabetes Problem Solving Scale is a 9-item scale that asks participants to rate how often they use different types of technology (eg phone, websites, looking at graphs of their glucose data) in managing their diabetes, solving problems and finding answers to questions that arise in managing diabetes. A total score is calculated by summing all items.

    Min: 0 Max: 5 Higher score means a better outcome

    Measured: baseline, month 3

  14. INSPIRE Survey

    Title: INsulin Dosing Systems: Perceptions, Ideas, Reflections, and Expectations (INSPIRE) is a 31-item survey that assesses perceived benefits and burdens of automated insulin delivery systems. A total score is calculated by obtaining a mean score across items, then multiplying the mean score by 25 to scale total INSPIRE measure scores from 0 to 100.

    Min: 1 Max: 5 High score means more positive outcome

    Measured: baseline, month 3

  15. Frequency of Blood Glucose Monitoring

    Frequency will be measured as the number of times a day the participant checks blood glucose level using glucose meter

    Measured: 3 months
