Continuous Glucose Monitoring in High-Risk Children and Youth With Type 1 Diabetes in the Dominican Republic (NCT07742306)
The Effects of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Interventions in High-Risk Children and Youth With Type 1 Diabetes in the Dominican Republic
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this pilot longitudinal study is to investigate whether intermittent use of the Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor, together with pediatric endocrinology follow-up, diabetes education, and psychological support, can improve glucose control in children and adolescents with high-risk type 1 diabetes in the Dominican Republic. The study will include 40 participants, 10 to 19 years of age, from two pediatric diabetes care centers. Participants will use the Dexcom G7 during two short monitoring periods in the early part of the study. Each participant will use six sensors in total. Between and after these monitoring periods, participants will return to their usual finger-stick glucose monitoring with a glucometer. Participants and their families will also attend scheduled medical visits, diabetes education sessions, and psychological support sessions. Study information will be collected from medical records, laboratory results, Dexcom Clarity reports, participant glucose logs, study forms, and questionnaires. The study will assess changes in HbA1c, time in range, average glucose, glucose variability, low and high blood glucose episodes, adverse events, diabetes-related distress, fear of hypoglycemia, and satisfaction with glucose monitoring.
