About
The purpose of this pilot project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a behavioral economic intervention to increase use of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in adolescents and young adults with T1D. This study will be done in conjunction with Nancy Petry, PhD and her research team at University of Connecticut School of Medicine (UConn Health). The intervention will reinforce patients for wearing CGM and for uploading it and reviewing its data. A 6-month pilot trial will be conducted with up to 20 patients receiving the intervention. The specific aims are:

The purpose of this pilot project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a behavioral economic intervention to increase use of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in adolescents and young adults with T1D. This study will be done in conjunction with Nancy Petry, PhD and her research team at University of Connecticut School of Medicine (UConn Health). The intervention will reinforce patients for wearing CGM and for uploading it and reviewing its data. A 6-month pilot trial will be conducted with up to 20 patients receiving the intervention. The specific aims are:
Evaluations will be conducted at time of CGM initiation, and 6, 13, 19, 26, and 39 weeks after treatment initiation to assess effects of the intervention and estimate effect sizes.
In addition to the primary aims, secondary outcomes will also be evaluated. Continued use of CGM is expected to improve aspects of diabetes management and daily functioning. Predictors of continued CGM usage and improvements in A1c will also be evaluated.
Results from this pilot study will be instrumental for guiding a subsequent, larger and longer term randomized study for evaluating reinforcement interventions for improving uptake of CGM, other diabetes-related adherence behaviors, and long-term outcomes.
