About

The goal of this longitudinal cohort study is to learn about a mHealth intervention in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)

The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

• Does the intervention increase the amount of text messages between the mHealth software and participants?
• Do the text messages from the Nudge software increase moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in participants?
• Does the MVPA encouraged by the Nudge software improve the HbA1c levels of participants?

Participants will:

• Receive text messages from the Nudge software
• Report physical activity goals via the text messages to the Nudge software
• Wear both an accelerometer and an actigraph for three weeks (spread out across the beginning, 30 days, and 90 days of participation)
• Complete surveys at the beginning of participation
• Complete daily surveys while wearing the devices
• Complete surveys at the end of participation
• Record physical activity in study surveys
