Personalized Comprehensive Diabetes Support for Children With Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes

September 24, 2023 updated by: Caroline Schulmeister, University of California, Davis

Effect of Personalized Comprehensive Diabetes Support Among Families of Children With Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if access to a diabetes coach improves quality of life (QOL) for families of children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Determine if there are beneficial effects on diabetes-related QOL at the end of the 6-month intervention.
  2. Determine if potential beneficial effects persist beyond completion of the support intervention, as measured by diabetes-related QOL at 12 months and 24 months following diagnosis

Participants assigned to the intervention group will have access to a diabetes coach for 6 months following type 1 diabetes diagnosis. They will be compared to participants who are assigned to the control group and are receiving usual care.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diabetes Distress Scale
Time Frame: 24 months
The Distress Scale (DDS) uses a 6-point Likert scale to quantify diabetes-related stress. Scores can range from 0 to 72. A higher score indicates higher distress.
24 months
Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID)
Time Frame: 24 months
The Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) uses a 6-point Likert scale to quantify diabetes-related stress. Scores can range from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates higher distress.
24 months
